I really dont understand what forward bite is, but my friend says our car needs some forward bite. So how do you get/gain/create forward bite on a Metric Car, that has to be stock appearing ?

Pay the guy who wins at your track to set up your car!
what is the car doing? what kind of shocks and springs are u running? can u run spring spacers?
84 Monte, everything must be stock, may run racing springs and shocks as long as they mount in original location. Pro SS Adjustable metric shocks all 4 corners, 1100 lf, 1000 rf, 200 lr, 175 rr.
finally got the car to go in and come out pretty good, based on track conditions. The driver tells us he is not getting any traction coming out of corner, he is not lose but he thinks to much power and not getting grip. He can stay up with the fast cars but not pass. I was thinking of tinkering on the lower trailing arms and pinion angle.
What type of track cond. Is this happeneing on? Heavy dry ect... Also we could use what your % and weights are on the car... Last but not least are you sure its not the driver? In my experience, if you can stay with the front then you can pass em... Spinning the tires seems like a foot problem if you can keep up with the rest...
do you have scale numbers?
You need to get your rear percentage up.
I am trying to retire from posting on here but Ill post again.
To gain more fwd drive you need to soften your front springs so they have some stored energy and your car can transfer wt front to rear and vise versa. With the springs you have now you likely dont even half half inch of compressed spring, how is that ever going to transfer wt to the rear?
I run under 700s in a metric car and at 3040 with 46-48% rear no driver with a 500hp 436 and 700cfm carb. 51% rear MAX on super dry.
Hello 3 dinter. List to what stock car driver is telling you. It will work for you, and it will save you alot of tail chasing.His setup will win with a good driver.
switch ur front springs around and u need at leased 250s across the back lm dont even run 175s
