    Do you have a 9in shock on the LF? Can you post some pics of the car so we can get an idea of how hiked up it is? 4.25in of drop isn't turning over carrying the LF territory really.

    Concentrate on getting entry fixed then start working other areas. Soften LF spring, more LS%, raise j-bar on pinion, Reduce rear%. Taking wedge out probably made the issue worse on entry.

    What brand of shocks and how long since rebuilt?

          If you haven't already, you might want to call Harris and talk to them. Typically speaking, that is the first thing to do. JMO.

            Also check to see if you're bottoming RF shock. That will cause a loose in and tight on throttle condition. I've dealt with a lot of base valve shock guys having this issue because of the shock body length being longer and mounts not mounted properly for travel.
            When it seems all eyes are on you when you're wearing a new pair of jeans you wonder why everyone thinks you look so darn good in them. When taking them off you notice the sticker still on the pant leg.

              we raced an older Harris for a couple years. I would find the set up sheet and make sure your on the Harris numbers... they have some little quirks than some people over look.... like a 1" offset wheel on the RF... they sent out a up-dated front end setup and scaling procedure a few yrs ago, also...

                Well I believe we have found out gremlin. While inspecting the front end this week we noticed a severely warn RF rotor. Think maybe the caliper might be junk. Turns out the LF off of the ground doesn't matter when you are locking down the RF. Always the little things!
