to tight on corner entry

[brett4]

i have been to tight on corner entry,so this weekend i am going to try a rr brake floater,put more angle in the j bar and move the rear to the left a little what do you guys think??? 550 rf 500 lf 200 lr 250 rr chevelle 4 bar car

i wouldnt do all that..try softening your lf spring 50

More -J-Bar angle will make it tighter,moving the rearend to the left will make it tighter,and fliping your rear springs will help it on entry,brake floater on the right side is something you don't want on a 4-Bar car works well on swingarm cars. Just a couple more options to add to what dirtracr33 said,and a one inch spacer on the RR will make a difference.

we have a guy that does real well in my area with brake floater on rr,but he is 120 lbs bigger than i am

[Confused?]

Everything you suggest doing will tighten up the car more. I agree with dirtracr33. Drop the LF spring 50lbs. Dropping the RR spring can help loosen entry and add a little bite coming off.

How will dropping the left front spring rate make the car less tight on entry ??

Maybe it's your driving style making the car tight on entry !

[Confused?]

Increases dynamic biteby allowing more weight to transfer off the RR and more on to the RF

[Dirtrunner35]

If we are talking springs only and you change the spring rate so the right front is stiffer and the car is already to tight ( if it's tight by too much spring ) won't the dynamic cross go up in a left turn to increase the dynamic cross making the car more tight. You are correct about making the right front bite more but at the expence of the left front working less and making the total front work less and the rear work more, so the cross is more making a tighter car .??? IF A SPRING USSUE

With the springs he has I wouldn't think it's a spring issue.

Give more info on your set up

Most often tight on entry problems can be traced to front geometry issues. Make sure your caster and camber are correct, you would be surprised the difference adding either can make if your not optimized already.

Maybe take some rr spring out. Left side percentage high enough? As mentioned, front geometry issue or bind?

I usually stiffen up the LR if im tight entering and ok in the middle and exit.
