How does tire warmup/burnout work without the LSD? Does it One leg?

haha there is roughly 2-3mm clearance from the caliper to the wheel well...so it is alright...heh...used them a couple of times and it works wonders...the rims are 16.5lbs...I forgot what the tire weight was...LoL

I've seen your car and I remember the front rotors/calipers, do the rears come with just the rotors or the calipers also?

Oh. Make sure your properly just out of the water box. When starting the burnout, slowly get on the accelerator. Doing this will allow both tires to spin. Once you feel that both are spinning you can get up in the rpm to worm them up.
