    3.5 in rear. RR set back 1/2 inch.

    I would try a 250 in the LR. That will free up your entry (off the gas) and give you more forward bite.

    1st thing I would do is pull a center line and check my static rear end alignment.

    With 55% R you shouldn't be having forward bite problems. I would first square up the rear leading the rear will give false indication of handling. Also I would ditch the 8-2 LR shock and go with a straight 3 or 4 valve shock your killing weight transfer needed on a 3 link car also get the RR on a straight 4 or 5 valve. Also with out knowing anything thing else as far a weight, shock travel and kind of car I think the 175 is a little soft and with your shock combination your holding the car and weight to the right. Don't be trying to run it like a late model these are two different animals.

    You need more cross weight. Try to get it to 52% at least.
