Low Left Rear

[SmithGT]

A lot of the late models now have the left side body nearly on the ground with the left rear tucked behind the sheet metal. What is the reason for this? Soft left rear spring, low left rear bite, body style, etc?

they are just walking around the body rules, if you know what your doing

Likely the shock valving is keeping the LR low so it will pass the height spec in tech... takes a few minutes for the shock to bleed off the pressure.

If you start low on ride height, bring the t bar up, then go on the track and hike to full height, the spoiler is higher than if all was legal with a higher ride height.

At some point, yes. But when you have watch springs for lr and rf, turning the wheel pretty much hikes the car. It ain't hard. You can adjust bars too, if need be. Guy get half hiked driving around the pits.

It's just more likely to happen on your deal with the no stacks, bumps, and spec shocks. Your car could set down more often, then a typical LM would/might. But generally speaking probably not that much of an issue, I'd be more worried about starts then setting down while racing but can happen on the right tracks or with certain drivers.

how much lower we talking from standard ride height 1/2inch 1 inch or more just to get more spoiler in air right

[billetbirdcage]

Ideally if you can get the LR ride hieght down as low as it will go, say this is 3" below STD ride height then: You can raise the deck that 3" and still be legal at ride height, so when the car goes dynamic against the chain the deck is 3" higher then it would have been with the same chain length.

Obviously you can only go so far with this stuff, reason we have a nose height rule. Guys where raising RF and lowering LR ride heights and resetting the deck statically so once in dynamic more the deck was 56"+ in the air for aero.

That be tuff on our deal with single straight spring it can be done but not. Get the extended load number up there more to start nite off say 150 or more then if you drop It per say what some do for Feature would lower lr but seems odd take load outa lr at full hike to me

ive done the soft ultra compressed stuff and traction is awesome in the moisture but goes away in the slick. any tips to supplement to help this problem?

[Kromulous]

Whats tends to happen when it gets dry? you lose hike, or ??

New to the compressed stuff, trying to figure it out as well.

Thinking out loud thou, when it gets dry i would tend to think to soften up on the RF smash numbers. That and maybe take some trail out of the rear end, either thru brackets or rods, removing rear steer??

Slower tracks mean more sitting down on entry for many drivers. This will then mean less wedge in the car when they gas up.

I had a GF with a low ride height...

I had one with a wide body but still hiked up easy.
