I'm new to a 4bar car this year and would like a little help. I've always had a leaf spring car and don't have enough knowledge of changing the bar angles affects the chassis. I am looking for a website that explains what each bar change does to affect the chassis and how it affects roll steer. I have about 4 races in the car so far and have a 5th, dnf, dnf, 4th, and a 2nd place finish in that order. The dnfs are from wrecks. I have yet to make any changes on the car because I'm too worried about adjusting myself out of a good handling car. I would just like a better understanding of how it works. I'm not wanting someone to just tell me what to change when my car is tight or loose because i'd like to be able to make the adjustments myself. Any help would be much appreciated.
