What block heights or over all ride heights are you guys at when your arm is negative?

if it's slick go up to 3" on the front, 2" and 3" blocks, if you lower the rear, you lose sidebite but increase forward bite. rarely do people lower the rear unless the driver is really light, generally just go to softer bars across the back, usually 1000s to soften it up and let it squat down on exit but not actually lower the ride height much.

I'm quite heavy at 280lb so I block rear 3.75, I don't change rear heights unless adding tilt. Softer bar in rr, softer shocks and gentle with the throttle gets results for us

Not sure about the softer bar in the RF, haven't had any experiences with that, only have ever ran a 1025 or 1050 over there. Also what easy up shocks you guys running on the front?

shocks are pretty well spot on! only other thing i can think of with it being a flat track is a maybe more tiedown on the LR maybe a 4/9 or so if your not already there, and play with bumper heights and get more drive off the LR on the exit

With 975 or 1000 on rt front the rt front may dip down and take traction of off LR. I think you should stick with 1025 on RT front . On a high speed track if your car goes down on rt front you may end out in wall. I could be wrong.

Consider this... ... when you raise the car, the rear end can pick up on the torque ball quicker. Also, winged sprinters care less about CG height than any other car, the sideboards will counter the body roll induced by a higher CG.

Never had much success with an actualy spring bumper, we just use the rubber bumpers, they make different stiffnesses for different track conditions, when it's slick, it's not out of the ordinary for us to run a 3" bumpstop, sometimes larger, when that shock is sitting on that bump stop it is driving the LR tire into the track creating traction, what you want to avoid is getting it too tall and it starts to bounce off it and throw it on the RR, it's kind of one of those things you have to play with and find out what the driver likes on certain track conditions!

Are you adjusting any on the bar stops during the night.I would sure put a 1/4 turn in the right front stop before the main and give it a try,it will help,you may want even more but I would start with a 1/4 and see how your driver likes it,bet he does.
