it works but most just use GTO blockers for the cost. IIRC there was someone on clubGP that broke his from launching so hard. make sure its placed correctly

Its sold through intense. Need I say more??

I have one I made myself. It will bend your control arms. Rob says reversing them will fix that, and that is bullshit. They will bend the arms if your track has ANY bumps in the pits or return lane.

There are other ways to do it. I have a plan on a new set-up for mine, just haven't got around to it yet.

I think the RASK kit will help traction, but I agree on the bending the trailing arms thing...that's why I never made a set for my self.

Will it bend the tubular trailing arms? or just the shitty stamped steel ones?

I think someone on clubgp bent their GMPP trailing arms. I used GTO spring blockers myself with good results.

I agree.. I use them as well and they work awesome.. I thought I lost them once but it turns out they slid behind the sprind and i didnt see them... so I put another set on.. Couldnt figure out why it felt so hard when I hit bumps...

I use gto blockers and hale front end limiter

 

[AdamGTP7]

I Have the GTO spring blockers in.....
I already removed everything behind the front seats, Did the tire pressure, Did a little burnout and featherd the throttle.

Is there anything else we can do to our cars to get STREET tires to hook?? What Is the "Hale front end limiter"? I havent heard of that.

 

[M@]

if you're bending trailing arms, you installed the RASK some kinda fucked up...

It mounts to the control arms, not the trailing arm.

As for the front end limiter, it's something Hale made a long time ago. I personally disagree with the thing, and it seems rather obvious to me how giving your car essentially ZERO shock rebound would really HURT traction. The front end is going to lift no matter what you do, but making it so the struts cannot move to counteract the lifting of the chassis will unload the front tires and reduce traction.....that is if I'm thinking of the same kit.

So Is the RASK kit bad for the car? Can I bend/break anything with it on my car for a couple of track runs?

 

[M@]

yes, all it takes is hitting one bump while the car is in motion, and the rear arms will bend.

It's a shitty idea, and shitty execution of the idea. I'm revamping my setup in the very near future, ass soon as I have time to pull the control arms and bend them back :angry:

I am going to be using a bar that fits between the strut sway bar mount, and the front attaching point for the rear trailing arm. It should pitch the CG foward enough to limit transfer...but that's in theory.

on Eric's 98 Riviera, i will just be wiring into the air ride suspension to jack the back end up all the way at the track and when needed, but function normally when on the street...

I havent quite figured out how i will drop it while it's going down the track for better drag reduction but i was thinking a simple timer switch to start venting the rear bags after 2 seconds have elapsed from a trigger such as a VSS signal being generated...

just imagine what 4 corner bagged suspension could do fer track tuning FWD street/strip cars....
