does removing the rear bumper support have an effect on the handling at all? i made some 3rd gear pulls today and it seemed like the rear end wanted to get loose, but i do have shitty tires on the rear i just replaced.

 

I think it's your tires...

Then again, I have a fairly built chassis so maybe I just didn't notice the effect.

 

tires would definatley a lot to do with handling. that would make the most impact.

the bumper support does give a lot of structural support tho.

only way youre going to tell is by putting it back on and trying it out again with the same crappy tires to be sure. but really, why even use crappy tires.

 

Seems like somebody answered his own question.
