    I didn't mean to imply absolutism. I simply was referring to generalities. Of course there are nights when the car/track/driver is way off. To me, all the holes some guys are putting in cars theses day and marketing "Fully Adjustable" tells me they have no idea where the things should be but instead leaving it up the owner to figure out. The Mods are really bad about it.

    As an example just for conversation, If the track went rough and I expected slick, I would likely change the RF shock, move the PH up a hole on the pinion and maybe tires pressures if there were big holes. That's less than two minutes on my car.
    The guys that pit next to me would change both upper bars, two springs, the PH bar, three shocks, two tires, the spoiler angle, the lift arm, and still finishes in the back!

I think the better way i to adjust driving style we have all seen the people who spend hours with car on scales go to race track hot lap come in and change every thing on car then have no clue as to what they did or which direction the car is gonna go when you go off in turn one with you on the outside on lap 1.
      You are correct, it does slightly decrease wedge and LS%, but it greatly enhances the LR polar moment. It essentially gives the left rear a longer lever to push with vs the RR much shorter lever, thus it tightens the car "ON" the throttle and can free up entry conversely too. The simple things still work.
