Honestly I'm passing on to you what some really good dudes taught me. Don't be afraid to ask the guys pitting next to you for advice. Especially if they're wearing overalls or look like they work on cars for a living! There's been a lot of trial and error too. Just don't over think it and have fun!

I didn't swap springs just left everything the same,started in back and finished 1st! Car still pushed mid corner but I still stayed in front,track wasn't dry slick as bad but was getting there, so thanks again,if it wasn't for you,it probably wouldn't have happened. I currently have 1st in points at one track,tied for 1st at another and 3rd at another,hopefully I can afford to keep going all 3! Will let you know how it all turns out!

THAT'S AWESOME! Just glad I could help. With all your success now I hesitate to say anything else. BUT! I read back through the thread and saw you said it felt like the left rear was lifting. If this is still the case you could try a LR shock with stiffer rebound in it to hold it down longer. It should also help with mid turn push. Or less compression on the RF shock. Should do the same for the push. I run a Bilstein AK1051 on the right front. It ties the RF down. With your rules, shock tuning is about all you have left to play with.

Well,I didn't do to bad,ended up taking a fifth place,the car pushed in mid corner more and more as the race went on, was very dry slick,should I change my front springs around? Not sure what I should do,I'm in need of your expertise!😏

RF tie down shock or try swapping the springs. Definitely hot lap it if you swap the springs.the car will roll over faster and stay down longer. Since I put the Bilstein 1051 on the RF my car fires into the corner a little loose but catches and turns good through the middle and is pointed down the staight on exit. If you know some other racers out there they may lend you a tie down shock to try. Low compression, high rebound. I use bilsteins because they are great shocks and they are cheaper than most others. Speedway has fast shipping too.
