    Metric Car Help

    I have a 3250# metric car with 53* Left
    53* cross and 52* rear.
    The car has around 200# bite.
    Lf has a 1100# spring 4/4 shock
    Rf has a 1300# spring 4/4 shock
    LR has a 100# 16" tall spring 9/1 shock
    RR has a 175# 13" tall spring 3/3 shock.

    It has all stock rear suspension with rod eye shock and tubular upper a arms.

    The car is good and has been getting better but still needs improvement.
    The car is loose off the corner and at time tight in.
    The car runs better when the track starts to slick off. The car can get around the bottom but does not have the motor to run down there. The car lays over on the right side and had has good pull when running the bottom but is to loose to run the top.

    Any lead ?..how much ?..where is it placed "left, center, right,,directly over rearend or behind rearend.
    height on front springs ?
    looks like my car before i moved the weight behind rearend and to the center and left put in 250lr 13", 175 rr 13" springs i run 3 way adjustable Pro "cheapo" shocks and this is the first time i can come off the corner and hold it flat with out spining the tires or being loose. i think mine comes on around 3100 with about 300 in lead and 200 for driver all stock front and rear we do not use the brakes to set up the car only let off the gas, setup and right back to the floor. a world of difference in where we had the weight placed before.
