I agree, 425BHP through the front wheels is a lot. To assist with traction, Dawie fitted a race Gemini LSD with a 50:50 split. This is the same LSD that was fitted to the race 147's which competed in the S.A Production Cars. A set of Bridgestone Potenza RE55S (semi slicks) were fitted to help assist with the traction. The OMP strutbrace does it's bit as well.
I've mentioned previously that the 156 is mainly used for street racing.
Although it is fitted with Eibach springs and Koni Sport shocks, the handling is fairly good, but that wasn't the main purpose it was built for.
