Matt (zooracer) brought up a welded diff in FWD and asked for suggestions. I need some for my JH and thought I'd ask here. I've not driven the car, ever, so I don't know much about it - I can only give you specs.

-2240lbs weight, and we'll have to ballast to make it
-Rear: Live axle, four link with panhard rod, sway bar, drum brakes. 250lb springs, Koni shocks.
-Front: double A arms, 650lb springs, Koni shocks, disc brakes.
-Motor: 2L, 4 valve, probably 140-150 rwhp.
-Tires - Toyos for now

Suspension and alignment has not been setup. I am making an assumption it will push some due to the welded diff not wanting to turn.

Any suggestions on setup? Do we want the rear loose so we can rotate it quickly? Front suspenion - any suggestions on reducing push? Closest car I can think to it as far as layout would be a 240z, but no IRS, and the JH is lighter.

It is looking like the first track it will run at will be CMP. Wish it weren't true, but the TR8 blew up, Miatas have work to be done, the 260Z needed some help, so time goes out the window quickly!
