    How much change are you talking with the LR. We are normally on a 225. I mess with the J-bar a bit when the driver says he needs side bite but it seems to bite me in the a$$ when the track cleans off.

    The way the cars are now, I think caster in general is detrimental to side bite.

    What's the anti dive in uppers as well as the Caster in it now? What's j bar at? RR inset fromRF???
    When it seems all eyes are on you when you're wearing a new pair of jeans you wonder why everyone thinks you look so darn good in them. When taking them off you notice the sticker still on the pant leg.

    You likely need a softer RF spring. What's in it now? Track condition? If relatively smooth and medium to low/no moisture, with that year car, a 275-300, with a proper bump stop is pretty common. You need to get with someone experienced and with the correct equipment to get it set up correctly or you will spend a long time figuring it out....and bottoming out chassis and pushing.

    Still just running a 350, the track has moisture around the bottom so it never really cleans off.

    I think what Matt is getting at is with too much caster, when you countersteer the rf jacks weight to the lr.

    I'd give a 300-325 a try if your completely on the most current baseline Rocket set. What shock mfg on RF?

    So more or less caster is ideal? Not sure what it does and why
