When removing wheelie bars?

Ballaholic29414 · 06-18-2009, 11:36 PM

What adjustments should be made to avoid huge wheel stands after removing wheelie bars?. The wheelie bars are on my car because they came on the car when I bought it as an roller. Im running all motor so I dont think id do a huge wheel stand but you never know. Ive seen cars alot faster than mines that dont use wheelie bars and people beg for this and that just because you have wheelie bars.

If its a ladder bar you can bring the bars to the bottom hole, so that it does hit the rear tires as hard, still plants the rear tires but the shock isnt as hard..... also if anyway to let the front end travel more before bottom out helps alot which will help to plant the rear tire better on a softer set up on the rear, ... it will allow the front end to have more travel before wheels try to come up, not sure what set up or suspension you have,,, let us know be glad to help

don't agree with this. If you are having wheelstand issues, or are worried about them, you want less travel in the front. Just take the car out and see what it does. If it stands up more than you like, tighten the front struts or put limiters on it.

Then tighten it up and see what happens. Only one way to find out.

I also have 90/10 shocks which is in need of replacing. I probably shouldnt be using 90/10 with no wheelie bars huh?

I would try tightening the front end down with the limiters before i went and spent any money. It might work just fine.
