I have a 08 lazer rear tire Temps are even and car handles grate just lacking forward drive I think it's the right frame rail dragging the track but if not I was thinking of switching from a 300 10inch in the lift bar to a 350 but it's a 12 inch or would a 12 inch 300 do about the same just a smaller adjustment Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you and this is my first year in a late model

The length of the spring has no effect on spring rate. Unless it coil binds. You could try moving the shock out a hole on the lift arm.

Like Punisher88 said, length of spring doesn't matter unless you're coil binding.
How much 5th coil travel are you getting?
What are the track conditions and size/configuration of track? What do you have for motor and how are you geared?

Lazers seem to have that problem....Did you update to the newer front end a spindle design? Fought one two years ago on it nothing seemed to cure it....Kinda like the rockets right now lol

are you sure you aren't just tight in the middle of the corner? you can put just about any spindle combo on that car since the uppers are infinitely adjustable. i have heard of guys running master's s7 spindles both sides as well as lazer black/rocket blue. keep in mind with the bar lengths even up on the rear, your rr while be ahead about 3/8".

Try a 200 in LR, set wedge at 90-100, keep the 300 in the lift arm, then get back to us with results. And please use spaces and commas(puncuation) when listing all this info, very hard to separate all your info . good luck.
