    rolling right rear ahead?

    When rolling the right rear ahead how much do you go to notice a difference 1/4", 1/2" or more?

    You should be able to notice a 1/4" change in bar length.

      I know I trailed my RR 1/2" one night, and I noticed a huge difference.

      Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

          1/4 inch should be noticable difference and a 1/2 should be a huge adjustment

            The 1/2" I trailed was huge. Almost undriveable haha. Lesson learned

                We've found that about 1/2 inch (RR) really helps keep the car free when the track is tacky. But when it slicks off it is almost impossible to pick up the throttle off the corner with any trail in the car. Just wants to tail out with very little forward drive.

                  Some cars have holes in the brackets to make this change.

                          That won't get you sidebite. It just makes the car tighter.

                          The only thing I have ever had with what would be 1" total rr lead was a metric street stock.
