FWD

i was wondering y they are on a FWD car if the wheels are in the front? is it from the force exerted on the rear of the car making the front wheels come up? someone help me on this o so important topic in a RWD 240 forum
thanx

Yes, those FWD honda's shift a lot of their wieght to the rear wheels, which of course is NOT good, for us it is though.  I remember taking my Type R to the track, spin most of first gear...just sux

elementary my dear watson.  ok heres how it works.  if youve ever seent the wheelie bars theyre only like half an inch... inch at the most off the ground.  instead of keeping the car from doing a whelie the keep the front tires in better contact with the road.  keeping more pressure on the front tires.

yes but have you seen how much flex is in a wheely bar
it may be only a inch off the ground but it will flex to about 3 inchs

I saw some hydrolic wheelie bars on a honda once. It lifted some weight off the back when it got up to the line. kinda cool.

I was gonna say &quot;Flex?!?&quot; &nbsp;I have also seen many a car runnin around with hydraulic wheely bars and they can almost jack their rear end off the ground with them. &nbsp;Most rears only go up by an inch or so during drags.
