    Default Looks good so far....

    Spring rates look good! What are the scale percentages, air pressures, how much bite in the car and what are the shock valvings?

    Don't know what type of tires your running but those air pressures seem pretty low. I would come up 2 pounds on left side and 4 pounds on the right side if your running Emods or American Racers. Take the 5-3 from the left side and put it on the RF. Put a 5-5 on LF. Put a 5-3 or 6-2 on the LR. RR shock is fine. Have your bite close to 200. This will improve the car!!!

    Add some stagger to the rear.

    If your ballast in the rear is high... move it down about 6 inches.
    You can go down 25-50 pounds on RR spring.
    Put a 3-3 or lower right shock. OR put a 3-3 on both sides.
    3-5 RF shock 5 on the compression 3 on the rebound get the weight to get up off the front and onto the Right rear.

    Stuff a spring rubber 1/4 into the very end of the right front spring.. roughly 50# more spring rate.
    Go up on left front spring.
    1000 lf 1100rf
    225lr 175 rr springs.
    softer RR spring will loosen you up going in- tighten you up coming out.
    SAME with lowering Ballast... loosen up going in... tighten you up coming out.
    More spring left front will loosen you up comming in... help tighten you up coming out.
    easy up front right shock will put weight to rear of car faster.
    3-3 rear shocks will transfer weight quicker to right side.
    a hold down shock will help loosen you up coming into the corner.
    check caster settings also. That too will help coming out.
    check bushings on trailing arms. One could have gone bad.
    Sorry for long winded post. Maybe some of this could help.

    Which spring rubber adds 50#s?

    Ive bought all the rated ones and the black ones from the parts store and havent gotten one to increase the front spring rate in a 700 lb spring for example even 25#s. These are the full diameter double sided springs rubbers, that basically appear to isolate a full coil.

    Ive given up on using them since the most increase of rate I found actually RATING them was a 18lb increase, they are much to hard to wriggle in there for that little gain.
