Car is a 07 shaw by taylor
looking for advice on how to get around the same amount of drive and steer with 44* lrt rod angle(15.5 inches from top of axle tube) out of 36* to 38* of lr drop.
Cars scaled with driver at 50lbs of bite and coilover eliminator is 25in from heim to heim if that makes a difference.
car is good with 44* on a smooth dry track but looking for less angle to help car be more consistent.

Your car will get pretty pushy with 38* upper bar angle. I would stick with what you have, and work on a shock package to help the stability of the car. You can try to raise the LRU one hole at your 15.5" drop and see how the car reacts to it. In my experience, 44*-48* seems to be best.

Ill admit yes the car loves 44* but that is a long ways for the lr to travel.
car has a fairly decent shock package on it. just looking to not travel as far and keep drive in the car. theres always ways to make a tight car loose.

You can try to limit drop, and raise the left upper to keep your 44*. I don't know where you race, but 4.5-5.5" of drop is normal.

we have a 2011 shaw by taylor,we put the chain on the left rear, the chain is 16 inches long and limites the drop of the rear end , that will limit the roll over and help the car, jeff told us to make sure we put the chain on the car, the cars work great on slick or tacky either one , we have a set of ohlins on it also, we run a 421 and the car is awsome every where we take it , hope this will help you some
