Sidebite....

[Roudy73]

Looking for more sidebite on a track that never cleans off, anyone have any tips? Thanks!

More jbar angle and/or more lf spring

[grt74]

rr spring and lean the rr shock in if you can

Caster gain could be an issue. What type of car?

How much change are you talking with the LR. We are normally on a 225. I mess with the J-bar a bit when the driver says he needs side bite but it seems to bite me in the a$$ when the track cleans off.

Caster gain could be an issue. What type of car?13 blue rocket

[Matt49]

The way the cars are now, I think caster in general is detrimental to side bite.

What's the anti dive in uppers as well as the Caster in it now? What's j bar at? RR inset fromRF???

You likely need a softer RF spring. What's in it now? Track condition? If relatively smooth and medium to low/no moisture, with that year car, a 275-300, with a proper bump stop is pretty common. You need to get with someone experienced and with the correct equipment to get it set up correctly or you will spend a long time figuring it out....and bottoming out chassis and pushing.

I think what Matt is getting at is with too much caster, when you countersteer the rf jacks weight to the lr.

I think what Matt is getting at is with too much caster, when you countersteer the rf jacks weight to the lr.So people are running less than standard?

[CCHIEF]

I'd give a 300-325 a try if your completely on the most current baseline Rocket set. What shock mfg on RF?

Correct...

Send me whatever you sent him :) I'm on the same chassis / setup.

So more or less caster is ideal? Not sure what it does and why

[grt74]

So more or less caster is ideal? Not sure what it does and why

think about it this way,if you run a bunch of caster,it will load the rf and the lr when you counter steer(turn right),so what happens when you start to go down the straightaway and pull the wheel to the left? it unloads the lr and the rf (car gets free off the corner)
with that said there are other factors there too,its not a fix all,we use caster split as a driver feel thing(how much we want it to pull to the right or left,when you let go of the wheel) and thats about it

[sidewinder69]

So if you are struggling on exit because of no traction, and have low caster numbers. Do I need more?

i would work somewhere else,caster is mostly a driver feel thing,if you don't have traction off the corner pm me with you complete setup and i will try to help

Also going softer on right front you can not preload left rear spring at all. It cause you to loose side bite.
