BRAKE FLOATING

Q: Does anyone run the brake caliber on the birdcage?  and would it make the car raise going in, pushing the birdcage forward? Thanks

Q: If it made the car raise , it wouldn't be the force of pushing the birdcage forward, it would be the rotating force doing it. It would rotate the same direction the left side birdcage indexes when the chassis rolls, so yes, I'd say it would try to raise the car somewhat.
Not sure though, since mine have always been clamped to the axle.

A: yes the clamping forces rotate the b/cage foreword while braking, this will pre load the LR on corner entry, and raise that corner of the car up in the air

Q: Can you have one side on the birdcage and the other clamped to the axle?

A: yea! Just depends on what ya like. Warrior floats the rr and clamps the lr. GRT does the exact opposite

A: That's true, at least that's the way our GRT came to us. I don't know how it affects the handling so we decided to leave it like that for now. I put a post on here awhile back asking about it but didn't get to many replies. I think I have a basic idea of how clamping or unclamping will work on both sides, but don't know how it works when you clamp one and not the other???

Q: If the left is clamped and the right is floated will that tighten the car on braking? If the right is clamped and the left is floated what does it do to the car on braking, and running spring behind?

A: (floating the lr) If you start to brake before you lift off of the loud pedal, It will not let the b/cage rotate back on corner entry! You stay up on the bars through the entire corner if the gas is then re applied before you let off the brake

Floating the rr on my BWRC tends to free up the car just a bit by removing side bite, It will slow the car from rolling up on the rr. on the other hand it can also tighten the car up to the apex by not allowing the rr bars to level out, thus removing rear steer.
