Rocket Scaling vs Racing Radius Rods

IMO, the main thing no matter what you do is doing it the same so your comparing apples to apples. I prefer to do it without the driver just cause it's easier. However what I would do first is check 2 things,

1. LS weight with the driver in the car and without so you know how much % is added so you can always add that to you can figure LS with the driver for comparative purposes if needed.

2. Changes in ride heights. For me I'm most just worried about the LF and how much it does down with the driver vs without. Say this is .375", so from then on I just add that dimension to the LF ride height and use that from then on out without the driver.

I want to know if the lateral location being adjusted without the driver will change once the driver gets in or vise versa?

Usually yes, minimum 1/8" possibly more.

Well I ordered the setup book from rocket and have read through it twice. To me there is some confusion when it comes to the "netural" holes. It gives no mention for the rr at all.
Maybe I'm making it to hard but on one page it said to race it in the 2nd hole up but it ends there. One page said identify the brackets, scale with top RODS in bottom hole. Then on the other page it said we recommend scaling with both upper rods in the middle hole.

To me there is some confusion when it comes to the "neutral" holes.

I had to read through it a few times too. Here's what I got out of it for my blue / gray 2010 car :



If you're standing at the back of the car looking to the front, that chart I made makes sense. The text they wrote doesn't

I'm probably going to get a paint pen and mark the brackets with an "S" for scale and "N" for neutral.

I think I've figured it out. Mine is a black front (07). I just moved the rods until I had both bird cages straight up and down. That to me would take all indexing out of them.
