Tieing down the front end on a strut car

If you are after reaction time , you might actually loose reaction due to the car driving out instead of up.
If its wheelstanding you are trying to cure , tighten the rebound on the strut ,or add some balast to the front end.
Use the suspension adjustments to your advantage .
Tieing the front was a poor crutch used when chassis tech and shocks/ struts were not as good as they now are.

Thanks Tom

I am actully trying to get the car to hit a 400 pro tree.
Curently The best the car will hit on a 400 tree is 430s(or I can hit) .

And as we all know in todays SG that may win a few rounds but it most likely won't win the finals.

I was also told by a good chassie guy " I can make it hit the 400 tree for you" but you'll never bracket race the car again. And I still like to bracket race at the local track when I can.

I mostly run S/ST HR so I guess I'll just leave it alone.

Thanks Again
