    I have noticed with a tethered up LF, that the RR upper bar angle is critical. Anymore i just leave it all the way up. and just work with the bottom bar to tighten entry if needed.

    I made the mistake of moving it down once, wont do that again...

    Just say no...

      Krom any recommendations or area you like to stay in angle wise? I've been doing some trial and error and this next week out was going to raise the right upper more

        A person could weld both upper bar bolts to the chassis and it wouldn't bother me one bit, lol.

          I dont know the angle, we run a Swartz car so its the very top hole. Sometimes if the track is really heavy, and i want to turn quick, i will index it down on the cage.

          But i will measure the angle, and post it.

            Krom, you doing the Boggs deal or just audie's? If you are doing the Boggs deal with stopping rear end with the LR front shock, send me a PM as I tested one here a while back and found something that will help you especially if track is a little rough.

              No, i got a chain limiter with a bump stop on the frame, mounted with a thru bolt.

              Although, i am running a lot of droop now days, and starting to wonder if my shock is long enough. I know Audie started putting an adjustable mount there to add drop on his newer cars.

                  I assume you are running a lot of RR upper bar angle to help rotate car?
                  I run a modified, and I run maybe 15-20º upper right angle. just wandering what raising it will accomplish.
                  Thanks
                  I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                    Both changes robbed weight from the RR during cornering. You did lose steer though. As for someone telling you right or wrong, it's rare the same adjustment has the same effect at every track.

                        If it were my car and it was "a smidge tight" on entry, I would take j-bar out until it wasn't. You'll also get off the corner better. Most cars (especially with a low HP motor) have a pretty broad window where the car feels okay but you could afford to free up entry a little and gain on exit.
                        Just my 2 cents.

                          Matt49, what do you mean by "taking J Bar out"? Less angle i assuming, but frame or rear end side?
