    clamped up lr

    will clamping the lr instead of floating it make the car free on entry.....right now my car is tight on entry when the track is tacky, just wondered if this would be a good thing to do to make car turn in better

    I fill like it does other may not but it does tighten the chassis on the throttle.but if your car is good for the feature you might be better off with a smaller adjustment like a rr side wheel offset front or back.

      its awesome in the slick, i can pull outta line and pass cars in the junk....in slick it doesnt slide at all on entry which is perfect, but then when tacky the car just WILL NOT turn on entry, super tight, cant get it to rotate in

        Add more stagger when the track is tacky.

          yep thats one of the things i already do, also add more rr trail, but car is tight on entry, both those seem to be more of a mid corner adjustment

            Would goin to a softer right front shock help any? If im thinking right that would let the car roll off the left rear on entry. Idk, just throwing an idea out there for discussion.

                my thinking was wedge loosens entry so would wanna do things to get the car to drop on the lr.....thats why i was considering the clamped up deal cuz when u lift it falls on the lr a ton.....what do u guys think bout just adding wedge for certain conditions

                    a spring rubber adds wedge when put in rf. if put in lr not as much.works good in spring bullbars to.thier easy to use. they stiffin spring weight. go on any car builder websit and click tech they piont you rite way to go. spring rubber is cheaper then shock or spring.try it think you you will be inpress. stiffer shock on rf or lr holds wedge longer it will loosin in.

                      If your only problem is tight in, I would soften the left front spring and/or stiffen the right front. Raise the bottom right z-link/4-bar one hole on the chassis. Adding air pressure in the rear tires will also work. Stiff rf shock. Less fuel. I wouldnt add wedge as that will tighten the car up on exit. I would change one at a time so you get a feel for what each change does.

                        I had the same problem and went to a 1" offset wheel on the left front with a 1/2 in spacer. Helped a ton..

                          when you add a spring rubber to rf or lr your adding spring rate and wedge. stiffer rf or lr shock holds the wedge longer. check out any car builer tech on thier site they will point you rite. spring rubber works 4 me.

                              If everything else remains the same (hike ,corner wt, springs ,bar angles) and you are staying on the gas it will have no effect, unless you breath it after entry . Then the tight will get worse for an instant.
                              The Blacksheep cometh ! With old bent sh!t that just keeps getting faster !
