Cars real tight going in and just cant get the car to set in the middle of the corners the ride heights are LF 6 1/16in LR 9in RF 7 1/2 RR 10 1/2. whats a good starting point? also my RF tires an inch bigger than all the other ones and i was thinkin puttin it on the RR would help out in the corners, any help would be apprieciated
What are your front coil ratings?
lf 900 rf 1100
Try going down in 50 lb increments on your RF until the car doesn't push anymore on entry. If the car is tight on entry, soften the RF so it can roll over on it better.
And yes, put your RF tire on the RR so you can have some stagger to help you through the center of the turn.
Where are the points that you are getting these ride height numbers?Quote:

I would measure at kickup. My 3 camaros all pushed real bad til I raised the rc. No push ever again except when I would experiment
what exactly is kickup? and if i raised the rc wouldnt the car be much higher?
If you take the anti dive out of the front end you will get rid of most of that entry push. Why put a band aid on it when you can just fix the problem! FYI, Camber gain is much more important than roll center . Raising the roll center will give the front end less leverage to do its job.You will then have to compensate with spring rates. What are you really trying to do? I suggest using tire temps to get the front end in shape then go from there. If you don't have a good foundation then everything else is just a waste of time! Think about it. Not trying to be a spoiler of things but be focused on what you ultimately wish to achieve! Many books out there, read read read!!!
so do i need to go up or down with the buckets on the front end?
Agree with Graff Spee...
you need to work on the upper a-arm mounts, and take out the anti dive. basically the upper and lower a-arm need to be on the same plane horizontally.
1. you need to lower the front upper a-arm mount hole a bit.
2. or, cut mount apart and lower the whole upper a-arm mount down.
slight push in center of corner? any suggestions on what to do?
increase stagger a bit, or push on gas petal harder.
