I definitely prefer the locked behavior over curbs, it makes the car much more predictable. If you get wheel spin over the curb you experience loss of acceleration and a straightening effect (car rotates less while turning). It's only a split second though so most people won't notice unless really pushing hard. Cars set up with really stiff springs are going to bounce more, with the 12K/10K I have I barely bounce at all unless the curb is quite high. |
I've seen some cars on auto-x lift a wheel in a corner without hitting a curb too. What happens w/ the Quaife vs 1.5-way there in terms of effect on the car? I'm leaning towards the Quaife setup just for cost and maintenance, but I don't want something that's going to cause some kind of dangerous or unpredictable reaction on a track in any of these wheel lift situations.
