Q. for Sean…
Interesting point on the inside rear tending to lock up while trail braking,but would this still happen with an lsd ?
If not ,would an iffy adjustment make the car prone to spin
[quote=SeanB]Yeah Frank, its a balance thing. You really want the fronts to lock up marginally before the rears in the dry.
Get yourself to a deserted open space and just have a play. I have found that what you have it set to in a straight line in the dry, you normally want a tad more to the front, as if you trail brake into a corner, you can lock a lightly loaded inside rear.
I guess we dont have to talk about the wet, as your new car will never go out in it.

Excellent, this time you need to plan a little more time…
I agree with Sean about not wanting to lock a rear as I trail brake, usually because I’m shit scared I’ve come in too quick and continue to break after my turn-in. I usually have to put the power down early because I’ve taken too much speed off.
Where’s Tim to tell us about driver training.
I think it’s about time in the car and really learning just how excellently these plastic tubs go around corners.

Depends on the type of LSD and how ‘tight’ it is, i guess. Setting up brake balance is totally a trial and error thing, but yes if you end up with too much rear bias, it will make the car prone to spinning.
