    When Mr Bush says "more indexing" he is usually referring to dynamic indexing whether that be through moving the bottom bar up on the frame or down on the pinion. Or moving the top bar down on the frame or up on the pinion. Just in general referring to the birdcage's ability to have the LR shock mount "chase" the chassis during rebound.
    Indexing certainly gets thrown around in many different contexts but that is usually how I've seen him refer to it.

      you could do like some were doing before bump stops and two stage springs, run a soft right front and let it coil bind. you will have all the left rear drive you can stand. however, this is dangerous , especially on a rough track, but there has been a lot, and I mean a lot of races won in the slick this way before bumps and stacked/2stage was even heard of. I personally don't like this, but if my rules didn't allow bumps or 2 stage, id probably do it.

        you also need to watch how much the track slows down to consider softening the right rear spring..a 1 and a 1/2 second slower track will need a 225 over a 250 or a 200 over a 225..lots of factors go with tuning a soft right front spring setup..you might even use a 175 left rear..lots of guys soften r.f. 25 lbs. each time on track and add a few turns to left rear..figuring everyone tunes like they used to..do you guys still tilt in the real slick..????..windy..
