    Almost sounds like something is bottoming out if it does it when heavy but goes away when dry. Usually the other way around problems come up once it goes dry cause you cant muscle the car around anymore.

    How much LR drop measuring where a birdcage would be on 4bar cars. Does the car get up on the bars hard?

      I'm the first to admit, I'm an IDIOT on this stuff (3 link, 4bar, zbar). Im not for sure what you mean on the LR drop. Car still has the birdcages on it, but their locked. As far as getting up on the bars, It doesn't seem like it, but this is the first time I've ever driven anything like this. LOL !!! I know at CCS it would pull the LF up about 8" - 10" coming outta the turns. At FCS it didn't wanna do nothing but push mid-corner until the track got dry slick, then I could feel the car roll and pull the LF.
      Straights are for fast cars. Turns are for fast drivers!!!!!!!

        You just have a very tight car, raise the rear roll center more, that will loosen the car

          Try dropping the rf spring rate 50# and get around a 100# split across the nose that'll free you up on the gas, 700's paired up will cause that on gas throttle push, if entry becomes loose stiffen rr 25# or raise rr upper link.. 3-5" rake on n a jbar will help to rotate and keep drive past flagstand also rf shock wise try something with lots of rebound and compression n see if that wont also get u thru the corner better

              8-10in off the ground w/ the LF sounds like too much drop. I would measure where the birdcage is at ride height. Then place jack under the car about where the drvrs legs are and jack it up until the LR just barely comes off the ground. Take measurement again should be between 4-5inches difference. If more i would get a chain to limit travel

                I'm assuming by your tire roll out that you have a 26.5 on every corner except the RR. Why?

                You NEED stagger on the front.

                  i thinks he's close, I would take the 2" off the lf and have a 3" ther and raise the J-bar up both sides to free the mid turn.

                    Sounds like you like the car for the feature right? Do you have a RF brake shutoff? Use that in the heat race to get you to turn in the heat race and then put in back to 4-wheel and go win the feature.
