stick the RR better

[SLM98]

Put a 175 or 200 spring in the LR

I have found over time, mostly the hard way, shocks not set up properly or working properly on almost any corner can kill drive off the corner. While everything you are being told is good advice shocks not doing what they need to can screw things up. I get them dynoed the first of the year and checked out by a good shock guy.

i run integra ida shocks, there where testing by integra so i know there good, but i have them set on standard right now, thought about adjusting them to the slick settings this weekend,

Lf 550 rr 350 Lr 200 14 inch spring rr 224 14 inch spring, j bar started at 8 1/4 go to 8 3/4 for feature, left side 54% rear 54.4 %, 70 lbs wedge, lr top rod 2nd hole up lr bottom 2nd hole from bottom, rr top tod down 2 holes from neatrual, rr bottom 2 holes down from neatrual, like i was saying the car is awsome getting in the corner and to the center but every weekend this year i cant come off the corner but i have not went higher then the 2nd hole up on the lr top rod?? i went from a 6.30 gear to a 6.02 just to try and keep it hooked up. and on restarts if i have to take off in the center of the turn and the car is not heading straight it lights the tires up untill it gets going, im very good with keeping the car straight and not throwing it in the corners, it just seems to lake forward drive???? my 5th coil is a 300# and is
all the way back towards the rear end. thanks for any help

LPD would your car happen to be one of the "new" blue cars?

[lpd1]

yes sir, its a blue front with grey spindels, things that im thinking about trying for the weekends events,
1) instead of running the lr top rod in the 2nd hole might go up to like the 4th hole if that track is about the same as land week.

2) might shorten the right side wheel base 1/2 inch.

3)might add wedge from 70 to about 120

4)drop lr bottom rod from 2nd hole to the bottom hole.

like i was saying earlyer i really dont want to touch entry and side bite because i think its a on throttle issue?? thanks for every ones help , dave puskarich

Move your 5th coil forward.

[lpd1]

is there a good in car lap timer that will keep good track of your lap times to see if your getting better or worse??

I am having the same problem with a mastersbilt. How much will moving the left bottom bar down affect my entry? What about stiffer right front spring?

Left lower = not a lot

rf spring = a good bit

Not to mention that the former tightens entry and the latter loosens entry when talking about off the gas handling.

When your moving your panhard either on the frame or rear are you making sure that your left to right is staying the same? If the rear is moving to the left and your not correcting it that will increase your entry but also will cause a loose exit problem. Make sure it is staying the same.

What exactly are you saying with "the former"?

We are on RR Index and that only affects the car on throttle. I am trying not tamper with one click index on RR and get just a little drive off. t Can the left bottom give me a little coming off without effecting the car which turns and drives great.

Also contemplated making the whole car tighter w/ the stiffer right front and going all the way on RR index and planned on adjusting off RR index to race conditions.

The former means the first option meantioned. When you say the RR is indexed, you mean the top bar dropped on the cage? If so, that changes the dynamic spring rate of the rr. It has to effect the car off the throttle.

It make the rr spring rate higher and puts more of the thrust load on the rr upper bar. Both will make the car looser on the gas and you should see some tightening on entry. If you are too loose on exit, getting rid of the index should be a positive adjustment.

We are indexed on the birdcage on the RR. Are you saying that dropping the bottom left bar will free me up even more on entry?

No, it should tighten entry just a bit. The stiffer rf will loosen entry off the gas.

Stiffer RF spring will tighten on exit also right? Thank you alot
