Rocket black front lift bar shock?????

Just wondering what most guys are running I've was running a plain 3 with a 275lb spring. But this year I went to a 3/5 with a 275lb spring. Im usually racing on 1/4 mile semi banking. This year when the track is hooked up with traction the car will not rotate in the center. Im thinking that the 3/5 is what could be my issue since that's the only change I've really made.

how did u preload the spring on the 5th coil?i went to far on preload and my car had the same problem

Not even a 1/4 down. I went by the rocket book

i dont think the 3/5 shock would done that much change,i ran before and had no problems,but i went back to my regular 3 valve..i run on spring anywhere from 300 to 350..ur settin it right

Im just afraid the 3/5 is acting like an axle damper but that's the only change so im gonna go back to a 3 and 300lb spring.

If you changed nothing but the shock,it will make the entry tighter,your way of thinking would be correct,if the cars not turning in good the middle will be tight or not rotate

Thanks guys also found out my lr front shock went bad also. Funny.how these shock guys want you to spend money with them and you do then after 2 races and not running over nothing it goes dead. Lol nice showing.
