Hi All.
What is the best way to minimize frontwheelspin?.
Will a antiliftkit help much or do i need to go for a new diff.

I have a my99 with a H&R gewindfahrwerge and nothing else.
What do You think would be the best soulution?.

Regards from denmark

Get a front diff such as the Quaife. Or you could try driving in reverse everywhere.

Quaife ATB front diffs are about £525 in the UK. Try speaking to Demon Tweeks as they can deliver to Denmark if you have problems finding one where you live.

It´s when you pull out off corners the inside frontwheel just spin like crayci.

I just dosen´t grip til you have the wheel pointing straight.

Funny, when I do the same I get lurid tail-slides....Quaife works well It's probably a bit of overkill just to cure this trait though - and it introduces a few quirks of it's own, you need to be careful initially when driving hard with it....do a search.

If I could do it again I'd get an uprated centre too; transfer front to rear seems to take ages....not good if entry speed is too fast, more gas just means more front end drift while waiting for the viscous diff to lock sufficiently to get it all balanced.

PS: you can buy direct from Quaife,

OK I'm the new boy to Scoobynet but I have MRT (I think) Anti Lift kits on the front and back, not as much as a new diff and the difference it makes is amazing! The other thing is change the bush's, the whole car is a lot more solid but not annoying solid just amazing when cornering.

Lift-off?

Re. the ALK/ARB/links etc. - yep, also make a big difference. But not to front wheelspin exiting t-junctions...sorry, I shifted things off topic!
