hey all, was up at winton on the wknd and found when getting on the gas out of corners i had one wheel spinning. Car has kei office coilovers and i didnt have this prob with previous suspension setup. Was running some 16inch street tyres that seemed to be holding on way better than i thought they would. How do i fix this?....

1. New or second hand active lsd diff.

2. New lsd diff centre?

3. Decent swaybars in rear?

4. Different suspension with more travel?

or something else?...........

thanks heaps!

If you put stiffer springs in the rear, then you'll have less squat and therefore less grip for putting power down, but as long as you havent gone too far with spring rate, it should still improve lap times due to the improvement in cornering.

If you've lowered the car too far so its running too much negative camber at the rear, that can also compromise power down.

But, if you are single spinning it out of the corner then you'll need a diff rebuild, at which time you could think about stiffening up the LSD with shims to create more pre-load. There's some posts about it - try searching here, or maybe in the DIY section.

Also think about installing pineapples in the 'grip' orientation.

Hey brett you will find diff's on their way out will tend to start singling when you are getting the power down out of corners, though will have no problem chalking the both of them up from standing start (burnout)

I believe you will be able to get away with just shimming it up.

Buying a second hand diff could be a gamble.

Go buy some pineapples and rear camber arms and you will be more then happy.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
