    Yes, that is where I was going somewhat or least bringing it to your attention.

    Just to be clear I wasn't meaning your LF issue was with the RF, I was just pointing out that your numbers where odd. Not that it's right or wrong, just different then the most typical numbers you see these days.

    RCJ is correct, that the RR spring while may help slightly and/or on certain area's of the track it isn't really much help in fixing or eliminating much of the LF issue your worried about. You need to look in different places.

      Thanks guys I'm going through the whole car this was a test night so I'm confident we have something to build on. I have a lot to check going to look at weight height, shock settings and right side bars I just don't want to get the car too yawed or tighten entry I could always add right lower bar and then shorten the right side back up so I add slight thrust angle but don't add more rear steer? Or even do the same with the upper and run higher bite. We will see I'll post what I went with

        Yep, definitely over my head. I tapped out around comment #10. Good luck though! Some intriguing stuff.

          Moving the right lower bar up on the frame usually has no noticeable effect on exit. But it will noticeably free the car on entry.
          I think your idea of going up with the right upper bar and increasing bite will get you the result you're looking for. But again this might free entry a little. You might considering moving the right upper bar up and then shortening both right sides to keep it from over-rotating on the gas. Let us know what you find works for you but as was said before, a lot depends on how your driver gets the car into the corner.

            Yeah I really think what you mentioned might work the last thing I want is a yawed out car. I would stand a little free on entry as it was a little tight. I added a rubber to the 225 and it made the car way to tight getting in. Thanks guy I will let you know!
