3081 lb metric, 1 inch offsets on all 4 corners. 10" Hoosier asphalt slicks f-45 on 8" rims, 1000lf, 1100rf, 250lr, 200rr, QA1 shock "weight transfer" package as recommended in their book. Left 52.9, rear 52 "max 52% by rules", cross 49.6, 3/8 & 1/4 tracks med banked. All stock suspension in rear, no jacks at all, 1.5" upper balljoints, r side 8 inch upper arm, L side 9 inch upper arm, 3/3 left and 5/5 right - caster camber..stagger in front about 1 1/2", rear about 2 1/4".....Car seems a lil tight in and always loose off no matter what track does. R/R tire gets hot and left gets only a lil warm.
Move right rear tire in an inch. Swap front springs around and put more aggressive shock on left front. We have always ran 2s all way around car with 3 on rr as base line. The father you move tire out from center you take weight of it... How much bite you have in car?
Right rear cannot go in any further the 10" tires on 8" rims will cause the tire to rub frame, etc .......I am less than 100 bite, if you mean the difference between the left and right rear weight by scales.....842 left, 765 right by scales.
By scales , 842 lr, 765rr, 686 rf, 788 lf..total 3081...guys excuse my terminology....i dont understand wedge and bite, so please if you give a suggestion, dumb it down please.
wedge and Bite is the same thing.. when your car is on the scales and the LR tire reads 600 and the RR tire reads 400, you have 200 pounds of wedge or bite. LR-RR=wedge
they do basically mean the same thing, but wedge is usually referred to as a percentage related to right front and left rear wheel weights compared to total weight and bite is the difference between the rear wheel weights.
I would swap the front springs like rgr suggested. This will tighten up your entry quite a bit. It may also fix your loose off, but if not try 275 or 300 in lr.
