Lowering

[Swanga]

I havnt lowered my t(sedan) yet but the other night it was raining so I turned traction control off just to experiment on where it may break traction and I found that when it did it diffbounced. I wasnt flooring it from take off I was basically squeezing it thru mid acceleration.

So I have a few questions before I do lower it so I can maybe overcome this.

When lowering do you have to cut the bump stops??

If I use a stiffer spring will this reduce diff bounce, or maybe same rate springs with stiffer shockies??

Normally I just change the springs and everything is roses, but this time if I can reduce diffbounce id be much more happier.

Cheers.

whats diff bounce?

Diff bounce is also referred to as Axel Tramp.

When you break traction the tyres bounce up and down. Its caused by the suspension loading up then unloading causing a twisting motion that causes the tyre to bounce.

It is common on Leafspring rear ends. My car had always done this, but mostly in the wet.

Lowering made no difference to my axel tramp, would actually say it was worse but then again I was running over 300rwkw, and snaped an axel.

Some guys cut off the bumpstops, I did'nt bother and it made no difference to my ride. Just ran the Kingsprings with the comfort option, and the ride was perfect.
