Default Air bag ?
I was wondering if there are any positive results to using an airbag in the r/rear. I thought you wanted all the weight to transfer to the back,please explain
Thanks,Mike

You want weight transfer but rear squat can cause the tires to "unload" which is bad for traction. In some setups a rear air bag does help.
