    500 LF, 450 RF.... real smooth and slick.....takes experienced driver... have to be smooth on brake pedal and on and off gas....
    My springs are heavier. LF 600, RF 550. Tried putting 550 on LF and 500 on RF but stock was bottoming out. My right shock has 3 1/2" of shaft showing at ride height. I think I need to raise upper mount about 1". My complete setup is: weight without driver lf 579, rf 434, lr 577, and rr 561. I lowered left bite some more this week because car was h andling better after I dropped bite last week. Cross is 47.0, left 53.7, and rear 52.9. Left rear bite is 16#. Have 1" front stagger and 1 7/8" rear stagger(all I can get). Bars are: left upper 21*, lower 5*, right upper is 20*, lower 5*, all bars uphill. Do not have adjustment holes for either lower bar. Straight panhard is 16 1/2" up on frame and pinion is 12 1/2". Panhard is 10* uphill to frame on left side. Both upper A-arms are 11* downhill to frame. Did not measure bisquit bar but it is a long one with red bisquits(90/10 shock also). Earlier post I had my offsets all wrong-all but RR are 2" offs with RR being a 3" off. Running AR tires. LR brake floater with bar in top hole on frame. I do trailbrake and trying to keep in the throttle some when entering corner. Still trying to get feet to work together smoothly.

    Was the car just slamming down on entry and hitting the RF shock or bottoming out alot in the turn? i would for sure get the shock mount moved. Once you get that moved i would try 550lf 500rf again.
    If it still bottoms on entry and isnt dragging the whole turn, stiffen compression on the shock. If its dragging all around stiffen springs back up.
