metric dirt streetstock....sandy/slick..med banked 1/4 mile...if i could change the angles of the upper rear arms,what would be idea angles?? im trying to get more fwd drive without moving weight way behind the rear axle....now im at 52% rear and 60# over min weight..the car seems to lack instant traction at the start of corner exit,and seems to unload about the middle of the straights...ride hight on rear is so that the lower arms are running uphill to the frame 2degs...but the uppers are close to 5 degs downhill to the frame...i have a 200 spring RR and a 250 LR...car dont seem to squat from any weight transfer.

Sounds like its sprung a little heavy in back for only 52% rear. I had 200 and 175 with 57.5% Rear. I would keep the spring split to 25lbs. I had 17 deg down to frame on uppers and had all the Fwd drive you wanted.
