    changing front shocks, what do u all think

    The car has been tight on entry all year. Theres only one race left so i wanted to try to change the front springs. They where 500 on left front, 400 right front. I'm going to change them to 450 left front, 350 right front.

    the car is a old rocket that barely flex's.

      i agree, i would just change the LF spring. because if you drop the RF rate you will continue to tighten entry. we stick with a 375 on the RF and it makes the car work good.

        Yep, I totally agree, try the 450 on the LF and leave the 400 on the RF...

          I've had the same problem and finally got enough courage to make a couple of spring changes last week and the car was the best it has been all year. I dropped my LF from a 600 to a 550 and dropped the RR from 250 to 225. I could drive the car in much better and it rotated in the center almost effortlessly. This was on a medium dry slick track.
