Do most run a 50 lb split (heavy on left)? If you go 100 lb split what is the difference in handling most time? Just spring change not changing shocks. Does it tighten car entering? Will it change much to your exit?

There are a lot of factors. Under braking a heavier spring should help turn the car better by loading it more. Again, so many factors from brake floaters, to shock valving, and where the RF wheel is etc etc
Start with manufacturers recommended base set up, then give the car what it wants after that. What brand and year of chassis do you have?
I think I just need to try it and see. Waiting on new motor and going a little stir crazy and thinking too much. LOL
On our stock clip 3 link car was always tight getting in with 1100 RF 1000lf ordered a new spring but messed up and ordered another 1000 went ahead and put it on RF son loved it car rotated much better in center sometimes you just gotta try stuff sometimes you are a hero sometimes you are a zero
Engine location plays a role also...if it's left of center u can run a softer rf then if it's right of center
Had motor to left last year but moved it back to center.
start with chassis mfg. recommendations. then give the car what you think it needs.
I started with 50lb spring split, and right now I am at 100lb.
car is better driving because of it.
Each driver, and track is different. some drivers charge the corner, some back it up.
jad if u tightin the split up from 100 to 50 wat should i see diff. thanks
If you are off throttle and rolling into corner, should see a tick looser on entry and threw center.Quote:

jad wats your opinion of the heavy spring on left like lf 700 rf 600 or lf 700 rf 650 chevl clip
or lf 650 rf 600 if u was going to do this wat would u start with thanks.
Stiff lf never worked for me. Car was to loose off. Softened it and now it's on a rail
I think your really just going to have to try it yourself - the driving variables alone can make the 100# split work or not work. I'd base your experiment off of what your car has historically been. If its always tight then try less split, if its always free the increase the split. If you go for the 100# at least it'll be more clear versus 50# in regard to the change results
Typical roll center characteristics of the Chevelle favor the stiff RF spring setup.
jad do u like bump stops
yes, depending on track conditions, and what track I am at.
