Don't want to get into specific chassis or even actual numbers. Looking more for theory and thoughts.

What will too much left side weight do to a car at different places on the track? What are good indicators that left side is too high?

We think our car is hign in left side weight so he's loosing "feel" in the RR and can't trust the car to set mid corner or pick up the throttle hard. Talking to chassis builder and he says it shouldn't have that big of an effect. We're thinking about reducing left side and wanted to see what all it would effect at different places on the track.

Thanks all,
SPark

i just went to higher left side....it does free the car up everywhere...makes it rotate better in the center....lower panhard bar works well with higher left side %....also another good thing is softer lr spring...i have really liked the higher left side % so far tho

At least give us a hint, are you at 51% or 56%?
