Ok took car out and its a little loose but feels pretty good. Coming off the corner it feels like it needs more forward bite. Whats the best way to get forward bite and not mess the car up in any other way? Thanks for the help in advance

Raise both upper bars on the rear.

Before you start adjusting and cranking on stuff, does it "feel" like it needs forward bite or do you "think" it needs more forward drive. Are you getting pulled on corner exit?

If so, it could be as simple as indexing the left rear birdcage a little more into the spring. If it is rotating mid corner well (Not loose, not tight) that is where I would start. If you're loose on throttle, I would drop the left lower down one hole and see where it gets you. Just try not to get the car too tight in the middle or you'll kill exit no matter how much drive you have.

Are you on a pull bar? If you have a 3 way bar i would adjust the rubbers inside to come in a little quicker. I try to have my bar as close to solid as possible by the time im getting straight out of the corner

Are you clamped or spring behind? Sounds like you have one of my older cars. Have you put fresh biscuits in the pullbar lately? They need to be changed at 10 or 15 nights. Too much panhard bar angle can hurt late exit also.

You could try dropping the pull bar on the frame to see if thats what it needs. Good luck.

Don't change a bar until you freshen that pull bar.
