hobby stock help
Been in the sport for a few years now and I've been starting to notice a few cars seen to lean over onto the right front all the way through the corner and even on the straights. Rules say springs must match side to side, shocks must be same side to side and sway bar shims must also be the same side to side. Mounts also can not be altered and ball joints are supposed to be stock length. I'm wondering if anyone knows what these guys might be doing or has ideas I can try?

I'd say that would be some pretty stiff rules to enforce.

they normally check them by making sure the coils are the same side to side

If you're cheating and the other guy is still beating you. You know he is cheating! i'm sure their shocks and springs are the same! (wink) (wink)

So are they measuring these coils? How do they do that? Is this something they check on the top 3 every week?

pretty much take them out, put them next to each other and see if the are within 1/2 inch of each other. Has anyone heard of heating the spring with a torch? heard it can weaken it making the rate of it go down?
