    Side Bite On Mastersbilt

    07 square tube W car 200lr 225rr J-bar 8-1/2 on frame and bottom hole on pinion . Looking for a little more side bite in center of corner. Thinking of 250 in RR but wanted to fell it out on here. track is 1/4 mile semi banked.

    If you can still get enough roll, the 250# will help. Go to the inside shock mount on the rr if you are not already there and rescale the car.

    You may be able to soften the rf some or lower the rr lower bar depending on how the car is driving, shock travels, etc.

        How does going to the inner RR mount help side bite. It would be less effective spring rate because of increased angle correct?

          Yes it would. But that isn't the only thing you just changed by doing that. You have relocated the point the spring attaches to the chassis.

          Does a swingarm car, with it's spring straight up and down and out by the wheel have ultimate side bite? Quite the opposite.

              go to a 250 rr and leave it on the outer shock mount. Move the fuel cell to the right 3 to 4 inches and drop the rf down to a 350 or 325 and i gaurantee side bite and forward bite. once you get the side bite you will have plenty of forward
