    Tight on gas throw mid

    OK i have a 2007 pierce mod

    4-4 left rear on coilover behind rr is spring in front shock on back
    1/2 rr trail
    i have a pierce pullbar with his new spring and rubber bushings inside
    i have to double set the car 1-2 times in each corner when its slick just cant get it to rotate early in the turn unless i really get it crossed up on entry then my exit is screwed up.

    genesis shocks
    75-3 73-5
    98-2 93-5

    Add some stagger, this will help the rr drive and will loosen you up on the gas form the center out.

        swap the rear springs the stiffer RR really promotes a tight on entry type of car. Also may want to try some more LS%. 1% change is noticable.

        Says j-bar even w/ pinion is that on a q/c or 9in?

        You LRL bar has 18degrees? it should be 8-10degrees

            I think your problem is entry if you fix that it will fix your middle problem. Switch the springs and maybe up the LS% and then if it still wont turn try raising the RRL bar up 5degrees. This is all assuming you are out of the gas on entry. i say this because you say unless you get it in really deep and all jacked out of shape it wont turn

            what are the bar lengths? how far does the LR drop? I dont have experience w/ pierce mods
            Is it jumping up on the bars hard and causing it to break traction? I am assuming this is UMP country. Do you have the same compound tire on LR and RF?

                You're too tight overall. Take that LBL back down, and go up on RBL. Add stagger as Ego said. If it's still too tight go up with RUL. And you can always go longer on RBL as well to loosen up entry more.

                It sounds like it's not just entry, that it's through whole corner, so you want to make changes that will effect it all around. Then if you have a drive problem coming off, work on tightening up exit later.

                  Your set up seems right other than the lower left bar should be about 6 degrees and the upper right 15 degrees
                  Maybe the right rear is understeering to much on the gas,is the underslung or chain stopping it on the right?
                  Let the LR drop 4.5 " this will help keep the front pinned down as well as a 6 rebound shock on the RF.If you are running a
                  brake bar on the center of the rearend avoid a set up that requires a lot of trail braking.Keep it simple,enter
                  on the RR exit with the LR.

                      i think that is way to much left bottom bar angle but to answer your question i would raise bottom right bar 1 hole.

                        The first thing you should do is soften your left front spring to be even with the RF or possibly 50 lbs softer than the RF.

                        All of the other suggestions will help also but you need to loosen entry first. The first place you should make a change when tuning corner entry is the RR lower bar and the LF spring. Your LF spring looks to be the culprit in this case.

                          Thanks guys im gona try to go with a pair of 600 in the front and go from there this week. Has anyone ever tried the coilover on the lr instead of split apart?

                            I just noticed your RBB is 14 and the RRT is 17,if nothing you try helps put a 16 inch bar on the bottom on the RR that will loosen entry and sometimes center also.

                              If you do that you better be a good trailbraker. car will want to slam down when you lift off throttle. It will actually tighten you up on throttle, which it sounds like you do not need that.
                              I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.
