My car was really bad here, we are not good at setting up on real greasy tracks. turn car was ok going into 1 but when we got to middle of turn it straightend out and pushed coming out of 2... shot right for the wall. going into 3 i could stay in the gas so car would get through 3 ok but coming off we had a push as well. can any one give me an idea what to do and not the basic set up chart, thanks.

What is happening is that from the middle of the turn off when you pick up the throttle there is to much weight on the rear tires and not enough weight on the front tires to help you turn. You need to raise the rear of the car or lower the front of your car. To get you in the ball park you can try setting the front of your car at 2" from the ground and raise the rear of the car to 3 1/4" from the ground to the chassis. This will help put more weight on the front tires and take a load off the rear tires. - Matt

I always used SE's setup and it will get the car close with a tweek here and there LF 2 RF 2 1/2 LR 2 1/2 RR 3 but remember if your using the Bilstien shocks the driver should be in the car because the shocks are that strong and you won't get an accurate measurement,depending how much the driver weighs the car will drop about a 1/2 an inch. Spring selection is very critical also.

we are running 2 bilsteins on the front and 2 aftcos on the rear. thinking i might keep one on the LF and put a bilstein on the RR. so the aftcos would be on the RF and LF

I had all my shocks check on a dyno and the person that check them told me you don't want to mix them get 2 more and run all for Bilstiens you will get better results.

Slinger7 he said previously that he has been running two bilsteins on the front and two afcos on the rear. He wants to put one bilstein on the rear and put the afco on the front.
