Coil over adjustments

[Matt49]

So instead of taking turns off the RF every weekend, I changed my spring to a 300 from a 350. My intentions are to get over on the RF harder, and stop the throttle push mid corner. I run the med tree type bump stop, it's yellow with the red stripe.

Without knowing how far you were traveling with the 350 and what the dynamic number was, you're completely guessing with that spring change. Trust me, I learned the hard way...without a spring smasher, you're doing a TON of guess work trying to run bump stops or any variable rate system for that matter.
Directionally, you are very likely doing the right thing by softening the spring but whether or not you should be going to 300, 325, 275, etc.
It could be that all you need is less compression in the RF shock to get what you need or just to take packers out. Plenty of ways to do it.

I think he needs some more basic help. Sounds like he is just starting out.

Anyway, softening the right side springs is a basic adjustment. Also moving the J Bar, down on the pinion side. Then maybe bar changes, LR upper, move up. Compression out of the right side shocks, and you can add some rebound to the RR, and take some out of the RF.

I say try the 300, when the track is cleaned off, and maybe take a little compression out of the RF shock.

What shocks are you running?

Shocks are non adjustable Genesis gas bulb shocks. I have an Afco silver series double adjustable on the RF so I can get some adjustments.
I am new to the late models, this is my 5th race in this car. I was in a modified before and did not need to know this due to the rules package.
Now I'm trying to be like a sponge so I can make myself more competitive, not set the world on fire...
I have tried the basic bar angle adjustments which do help but I'm trying to learn what the "advanced" adjustments do to my car. I have an 06 Rocket Black Front. New RF 300 LF 550 LR 225 RR 250 My thoughts are to go softer on the rear 225rr 175-200 lr

I doubt the AFCO silver series is even in the ball park with rebound dampening for a bump stop setup. I'd steer clear of bump stop deal for a novice to late models...without a load rater...and what to do with it.

A lot of Mod guys i notice they want to get a car "Set up" and call it good, and that works to a degree but with a SLM as your finding out is a constant chase or a constant tune to stay on it or with it.

I hated the Black front Rockets, you have to drive them very hard to get any speed out of them.

Anyway, yep softer as the night goes slick. Work with your J bar and get used to how that feels. Lower on pinion side etc.

Envy can tune them AFCOs for a bump stop, we run the blue ones with Penske valves, there fine when set up right or get an Integra mega RF, that will keep the nose down for sure.
