      Changed rf to 325 and rr to 225. Still very tight. Put 3 turns in top and bottom right side bars to move right side of rear back a little. Don't know if tht is the right thing to do but it helped .

        Adjustments that add steer help tight in problems. Is the car rolling over a ton and tight until it rolls and feels on the spring?
        BUCKLE UP NOW, YA HEAR?

            Softening RF spring tightens car into corner.

            What do you consider/use as base 4 link holes/mounting points?
            How many do you have @ each location? 3?

              Be sure radius rods are set as LT 18.25", LB 15", RT 18.75", RB 15.5".

              This tends to be a looser setup with Rockets. You can always shorten Right sides 1/4 " at a time, to tighten it back up.

                  Here is a very basic adjustment guide by GRT I have used it for years to get cars going the right way. Please notice that springs are the first adjustment suggestion. Until you get a car sprung properly you will have a monkey lovin a football, be wasting your time and making bandages for other problems. While this sheet and I do not 100% agree, it really will help most the time. I know it's a GRT set up sheet but your car won't know if you don't tell it. JMHO.

                    Move the left bottom rod up to 4th or 5th hole and it will turn and hike up quicker. I scale mine in the 3rd hole like rocket sayes and move it to 4th hole to start and if its still tight going in I move it to 5th hole but you might need a bent lower rod to keep it from hitting birdcage.

                        Good advice. Also if your car hikes down alot it will get ugly tight on decel, add compression to lr shocks if thats what is going on. usually nose darts right on decel with not enuff compression valving in lr.
