    Default Loose in and on throttle until car gets straight

    LF 550 RF 600
    LR 200 RR 175

    QC jbar top on pinion with 5" rake

    1/4 lead in LR

    18lbs bite
    52.3 left
    57.5 tail
    1 1/4 stagger

    LUB 24 deg
    LLB 4 deg
    RUB 18 deg
    RLB 0 deg


    car doesnt feel like it transfers to RR unless there is some tacky patches in track for it to get ahold of

    car also feels like it drops on LR and doesnt roll on RF if im in traffic and have to back off early. Would jacking up LR and lowering RF help this?

    Would dropping jbar 2" on both sides, going to 550 RF and 200 RR be to much of a swing?

    Default Loose

    Try the Jbar first, maybe not so much split 3-4 inches. If not enough, move the LR back that 1/4 inch and try it. If still not enough, move RR forward. Reducing stagger would also help, but you do not have alots now.

    i think i would try reducing trail or stagger. and moving the jbar down 1in on each end.

    Where is your jbar on the pinion again, I'm misunderstanding what you typed?

    about 1 1/4" about pinion on a QC


    Also would leaning the RR spring inward help with weight transfer?

    Try running 1in above center of pinion. Have you checked the lf shock to see if if is rebounding properly, had that problem a few times. Good luck.

    Your talking above center of pinion correct? We've run ours at center and below on a qc with 6in of rake but that was too much rake, running a short panhard bar now and its working well for us. Good luck.

    What shocks are you running?

    It seems obvious but you can do an 8-2 or 9-1 on the LR. Tie down shocks on the right side of the car...???

    Do you have a brake floater on the LR ? It would help in traffic, Schrader has 1 on his car along with most everybody else thats fast,and when all else fails Z-link the Right side it won't be loose anymore,justa a couple other things you might think about.
