btw to fill you in a little, a bit of convo with some chassis guys has found us twin transverse drivetrain guys severely screwed, we have really no way to make the drivetrain/differential tq work for us, the only real options to increase traction & prevent the nose rise/ass squat is to lower the CG and move it forward. any anti dive/rise we build into the suspension could have more drawbacks than gains.
drop as much weight above axle centerline as possible and near the cg. the best move over that is to move the cg "forward" with traction bars.
to that end the battery is now going behind the seats, swaybar relocated forward on the rear cradle and moved underneath. the clean sheet chassis will ditch the rear radiator in favor of the coolant flowing through the lower tubular chassis to the front radiator.
as much as it would be nice to move it towards the middle, the fuel cell is staying all the way at the back lol
