finally got car to turn in, but now its a tad loose off the corner. im wondering if i should try 20 more pounds of bite. or maybe try stiffening the rf. Last weekend i ran a 850 750 because i discovered my 2 race old 900 was coil binding, 850 was the next stiffest i had available.

What's this in? If it's a SS you need to be stiffer on the front springs! I have never ran anything less than 1050 on the RF.

Add more bite since you don't have any rear spring split. Move the rear thrust line left of center to help loose off. More left rear compression over the RR shock.

Ive got a 175 and a 225 that I can put in, what would you suggest? 200 lr and 175 rr?

When we were racing in the Super Stock deal, we had the same type setup....3,000 with driver and we ran about the same rate front springs as you HoosierDaddy and we ran either Landrum 200 lb LR or 194 Afco and 175 RR Landrum or 166 lb Afco...Worked very well with a little static rear steer in it as well....

hey dave what kind of bite did you run? would changing my LR from a 3" to a 2" help coming off the corner? In also orderd 2 new eibach springs for the front 900 and 800.

Yes a 2 will help on exit. A 175 on RR would be better.
