    I've liked a 1" on the RF when forced to run a hard tire rule, helps make a little RF heat. All good as long as you drive straight, seems like if you backsteer the RF spacer made the car worse.

    How did Biffle drive through the field on new tires in the 100 lap feature, yet fail to pass the leader? Seemed fishy.

    SRX needs to be extremely careful with scripting - if real race fans catch a...

    When the 2nd place car is that close to the car in front on the cushion, 2nd place needs to be more bent or sideways to compensate for the lack of front downforce (dirty air). When the leader pushes...

    Agreed with MasterSbilt_Racer's thoughts.

    First thought for me is the RF could be a case of the load being too high in mid-range travel. For example, a general rule of thumb for a RF is the 3"...

    Maybe extra soft left rear springs aren't a smart choice on a track like that.

    Teams are 100% allowed to reduce LR drop and run stiffer LR spring rates. Yet when enough teams don't listen to the...

    Had same issue on a friend's modified

    Spindle needs to be reamed (2" taper) for the 1210-102 to fit that spindle.

    Or, if you want to use the spindle without reaming, the 1210-109 fits it, but...

    Rod ends can sometimes rotate free with no load and then bind up with load. If you have a smash machine, put a 4 link rod in and compress to 1500lbs and make sure you can still turn the rod ends by...

    Sounds like there is little to no compression bleed in the shock. I'd verify with the shock builder that the bleed size did not change at all.

    just some thoughts here..

    more rear stagger and the 5th coil moved back may help.

    soften up the compression on your right side shocks if you can.

    add a couple psi to the RR tire.

    To me it looks like his car is always too rigid in the slick. I think he needs to get the chassis tighter so he can drive as aggressive as an RTJ or Strickler-type.

    Agreed.. i've never been over 185, usually 100-150.

    maybe the RR is too stiff and it takes a lot of LR to make it feel tight enough

    Valving like that would only be suggested as LR coilover behind with no shock in front. It's a lot of shock but if on a soft spring with nothing in front it doesn't feel that stiff.

    I'd bump your LR coilover compression valving up so it has 300lbs of compression at 2" per second. Keeps LR up and lets you drive like you had a shock in front.
