    rr spring question

    My car was a little tight on entry when the track had grip in it...which would be a better way to loosen entry...softening rr spring raising jbar or raising rr lower bar up

    Im guessing you mean in a heat race? so i would do the easiest change just to make it eaasier to change back for feature. If you need that spring for when the track loses grip then i would raise lower bar. if you have the climber brackets for the jbar then that might be the way to go.

      Yep its a little heavy in the heats and bone dry in feature...i like the heavier spring for side bite in the dry...also I do have the climbers on both sides of jbar...i have seen guys with there rr lower bar at 7-8• mine is 1-2• ...my jbar is 1/2" above pinion and 5" of rake..should I just raise the whole jbar up an inch? Or maybe leave it and raise rr lower?

        i would try the RRL bar adjustment first see if you like that.

          i thought about it more after i posted....if the body roll isnt to much then i would do the lower right bar. i would do the jbar if the car is on the RR to hard and rolling over to much

              honestly whatever works. You know what you need for the feature so for the heat race move it up 1 hole. If thats not enough try 2 holes the next time. Ive ran mine anywhere from 1 hole below 0 and 2 holes above.

                that sounds close for a hooked up track.
                Sent you a PM of something different that might help as well.
