    I just put more LR bite in my car. If that doesn't do it, then i raise LRU bar on frame. I don't do both as it makes car to tight. JMO

      Left bottom bar if you are on a typical 4 link with floated birdcages, Drop the bar on the chassis. This will tighten the car from the center off while on the gas without affecting the rest of the corner.

              I think it's allot but every car and driver will be different, try a 1/4 or less. Tire pressure ?

                bite

                Front clip? Chevelle, Metric, Impala, Ford?
                springs?
                shocks?
                All this would be good info to give, so we can suggest a cure for your problem
                I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                    That lrb bar seems like it might be high on frame, how much angle is that? If you have a b/c that has more holes on top of b/c you could lower it on b/c. I would try lowering lrb bar on frame first. Good luck.

                      help

                      Do you really have a 4/10 tie down shock on the LF?
                      Wow that is alot of tie down.
                      Wander if this being tied down too much will not let the car transfer weight to RR and make car seem loose off due to no weight transfer?
                      just a thought
                      or
                      did you mistake the front 2 shocks and the 4/10 is on the RF?
                      are you on a bumpstop on RF?
                      might have too much tie-down on the RF, and not letting it transfer weight back to LR .

                        Didn't see that, that could be the problem.

                          so the shocks are backward in the front the 4/10 should be on the rf and the 4/5 on the left front

                            If the 4 is compression and 10 or 5 is rebound, yes usually.

                              Yes.
                              If you are on that much tie down on the RF u should have a bumpstop on it. (atleast I think so)
                              I used to use that on a heavy track, then back off the rebound as the track got slicker.
                              but I have started using that big rebound with a bumpstop and it seems to work pretty well.
                              You can also go up on your RF spring a bit. that tie down will still let the weight transfer over on thr RF, and it holds it there, but it really needs somthing to push aginst (bumpstop) to give you max traction.
                              I have been running this setup @ eldora with great results.
