rocket differences and questions

[DK1]

the 2 mounting holes are just to tighten or loosen car up on entry

Did they say which set made the car looser? I've been fighting with my '02 Black Front end being tight on entry. I started with the set up rocket uses in their set up book but I end up burying the RF. Like Amick said, if the car slides in the corner the car gets upset and its hard to carry any speed through the corner.

What spring/shock settings and how much wedge are you guys running?

The holes on the uppers change your roll centers and camber gains. Typically the lower holes will help the car turn better on tighter tracks the uppers you might find help on longer more momentum tracks. Black fronts are completely different from blue/ GRAY's. Front and rear the orange car was not a bloomer copy. It was a joint venture design with port city. It is also different front and rear. They all work well the blacks work good for b type drivers who like to power through the corners they tend to be tight middle oriented. The blue gray is more of a moderate. Very driver friendly and stable. The orange is more an a type driver for guys that don't drive sideways but like to be locked down and straight. There are big difference s in the front end design on each and made to serve different needs

You can quote me on this I believe mark bush designed the black front end and port city did the orange. The bluefront I don't know but the Gray spindle was a later option for the blue front end.

CJ Rayburn designed the Blue

CJ Rayburn designed the Blue

Actually, Ed Howe designed CJs frontend for him. But yes, a blue frontend is a Rayburn copy.

Be careful when you put the RF a arm in the lower holes. It will give more camber gain but also bring the shock closer to the ball joint in it's movement. Mine would hit occasionally and catch the coil over adjuster on the edge of the ball joint.

[AmickRacing]

Mine did that also. I ended up drilling a hole just behind the standard hole. I also cut the spacers that were welded in the standard holes, and made news ones for the new hole.
I only moved the top of the shock in 3/4" or so, I figured not killing a shock was more important than the slight geometric change.

Agreed.I also had the same problem. Moved mine in as well.
