    Right side top bar angle

    I was just wondering what a good right rear top bar angle to start at would be? I run Imca with the G60 hoosier so not as much grip. What do you think a good angle to start at would be?

    I would always call your chassis builder first. He can tell you where to start for any and all adjustments on your car and what changes to make for different track conditions. jmo.

          I appreciate the help guys. When i bought this car it has an angle of about 13 degrees in it. That seems like a little flat. I have heard some guys of running down towards the 12 degrees area also. What does this bar do? I really wanna try and get it where it should be so please anyone im really lookin for some help.

                Hagen14t, when the track is tacky always run the top bar 20-22 degrees. When the track gets dry slick go down to 16 degrees. It will tighten the car up when you drop it. I have tried it at 14 degrees but did not like it. Make sure your bottom right bar is set around 5 degrees when track is heavy. Drop to level or even -2 degrees when track gets dry slick. This will help as well.
