With 5 races to go in the season I switched from all Afco shocks to all Bilstein shocks as well as switched from the smaller rear tires to the bigger rear tires. We then scaled the car and set the ride heights to a base point as listed in the rulebook. The first time on the track the car was EXTREMELY tight and it seemed like the changes we made didnt really have an effect. The next few weeks we wereable to get the car to loosen up and handle better. However, this good handling would only last about 2-5 laps at the beginning of the race and after a long caution flag. We thought maybe the LR tire was growing and taking my stagger away so we tried different air pressures and still got the same result. The car would go from entering the corners great and able to pass other cars, to extremely tight and pushing straight to the fence every turn. Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to help correct this problem? Or has anyone experienced a similar case? Any help at all would be great. This car/driver combo was a feature winner with the Afcos 2 weeks before the switch to Bilsteins.

I have never used scales in my set up so can't help you there but I can say that the bilstiens change things, handle different. It took us some time just trying different things until we figured things out.

I have the same problem with my car but my car doesn't handle at all through the corner and it pushes real bad.

Did you scale the car with the driver in or out of the car.Because of the shocks being so stiff the driver needs to be in the car when you scale it.The other question would be what springs are you running on each corner.
