    More stagger or trail rr 1/4 inch. Improve entry and exit will be better.

            What adjustment would you make for off throttle and what adjustment for on throttle?? I think the left rear going negative would be a problem also lack of lr bite

                I'll try adding more lr bite. But now that its mentioned is my angle OK on the RR bar would that cause it to go negative and have problems? When should a guy look at a RR bar adjustment?

                  off the gas tight I would add bite. 20 makes a big difference on my car or raise some ballast if you have it higher and left.

                    More bite is what I would do. I would add at least 100 pounds of bite.

                        Sounds like a softer right front could help fix your issue. What stub are you on? Also raising your right side bar a hole or two will assist with loosening the car throughout the corner, but especially on entry.

                              On a chevelle stub I would not run stiffer than 550 on RF. Go softer from there to free entry/middle. There is a huge fallacy that you need a big RF spring to help a 2 link get off the corner. Weight on the left rear tire is what gets a 2 link car off the corner. You don't need a big RF spring to do that. Once you get soft enough you will see the shaw and other setup stuff that says to stiffen right front to free car and soften to loosen. You are above the range will the car will effectively stay on the right front for long periods.If you don't want to soften the right front spring I would recommend putting a chunk of weight on your right front, or buying a crazy lock down shock for that corner. Too me both are severe crutch items that are junk, but you see guys doing it and being fairly fast with it. By crazy tie down I mean a 2 compression, 12 rebound valving or something in that range. Integra has some nice models that guys are using with valvings in that range.
