    You didn't cause any trouble, keep asking questions, that how you learn. Every car/driver are different and once you hit the track you'll have a better idea of what you need. Best of luck.

      That's exactly what im getting at here, you posted a personal experience and left it up to everyone to decided if your car was loose and needed tightened or was tight and needed freed up, these guys asking these questions probably can't figure out which you're referring to, so they get misleading information, myself I like to post the facts, and let the poster make his own decision based solely on the proven physics of these cars, not leave room for a misunderstanding on a learning mind

        I agree, that's why I said it depends on the rest of the set up, next time I'll post more info.

          I talked to scotty about the ride heights and everything and got it right where it should be with springs and ride heights all the way around. But it got to be too late tonight, and i couldnt call him back about a potential problem that i think i might have. The guy i bought this car from put front upper shock mounts on it, and when the car is sitting at ride height it only has about 3-3.5 inches of shock shaft showing. Would like to try and work on it this weekend or else i would wait until monday to call, just wondering if 3-3.5 inches is enough travel? Pretty high banked tracks with a 650 in the LF and 600 in the RF. All help is appreciated.

                both sides have that amount of in travel before bottoming out? if that is the case i think the LF would be ok but the RF would potential be a problem. The LF doesnt really compress much just need as much extension as possible

                  Yes both sides are like that. And i agree i think the LF should be okay and maybe even beneficial like that. I think ill talk to a fab guy in town here who is great with this kind of stuff. Thanks for all of the help.
