We definitely improved since going from 450/400 to 400/350 and some "trusted advisors" are telling me to keep going softer but I'm just concerned about losing more forward bite. The car is really good and not too tight on entry and through the middle but we just don't have a lot of forward traction. In other words, we don't feel like this is a matter of overly tight entry causing wash out on exit.
Getting side bite with shocks has not been an issue.
It's not that we lack LR driver we just lack overall forward bite which to me are two different things.
I'm thinking of moving the 5th coil back or preloading the 5th coil more to help with this. Any thoughts on that approach?
I was also thinking of the old adage about j-bar rake: more gives you side bite but takes away forward bite is what I've always understood. Since I'm able to achieve side bite by softening my right side shocks, I'm wondering if I could take some j-bar rake out of it.
