Spring change

Sorry to sound dumb, but what the Heck is a spear rod set up? I've never heard of such a thing lol

Basically, the trailing arm looks like a Y, which hooks to the top and bottom to a floated birdcage. Usually , you see them where a track allows only a 3 link.

Oh cool! Thank you!

seen that done on the RR, but never both sides.
Were are springs? top of tubes, or on birdcage?

Both on cages. LR short rod, RR long approx. 5 foot.

Aah haa! You are probly not making enough roll steer with that long of a trailing arm. You might have to shorten the rr a lot or put a lot of angle in it. I have seen that setup on asphalt cars, trying to minimize roll steer.

Had a practice day. Car was bad fast off the trailer. Only change I made today was changed RF spring from a 600# to 550#. Slightly better turning in. Going to buy a 500# and try that Friday. Track was dry slick so I think I'm in the ball park now and can try some small changes from here. What a relief to be able to drive car and not just along for the ride to wherever it wanted to go.
