I have noticed while driving my bond that the inner wheel likes to spin the power away quite easily,
i have, a swing spring and uprated front anti roll bar, avo shocks at rear, spax at front, stifferr shorter springs at front, poly bush all round, Jigsaw
set them up to the level they would expect it to work at,
Why is it doing this and what can be done with the existing setup to improve matters?
Calvin.
No criticism intended of Jigsaw.

Calvin,
Your inner wheel is lifting, and as it loses adhesion it can spin. The diff shunts ALL the power to the spinning wheel. This is what a Limited Slip
Diff is designed to prevent.
Short of that (C. £700 from Quaife), try softening the rear shockers.
You have shorter stiffer springs at front, no change at rear (?) so car now set up tipped forwards.
You need to lower the rear with a spacer between the spring and the diff.
Also try returning to your old, softer front ARB.
No suspension set up is ideal for everyone.
You must be willing to try changes to seek perfection, Little Grasshopper.

John,
forgot to mention the lowering block already fitted, got the inch one too, so should be big enough, but will start with softening the rear shockers
and play it by ear from there,
the swing spring might not be strong enough? Is that what you are suggesting? i might concur as it seems weak to me, but i will be upset as it is
newish and has covered less than 500 miles, i believe my bond weighs less than a spitfire, so even if it is a non uprated version for the bigger
cars, and i think i bought one of those, it should be strong enough?
Enough rambling,
your humble etc...
