OK guys new to dirt racing and modifieds I have a Imca northern sport mod 2 link dirt works. and looking for some pointers for scaling. It has a short bar on the left side long bar on right springs on top of housing. My question is where do I place the rear bars for scaling purposes?

Where you plan on racing them. The car needs to be set like it's ready to race before scaling it.

Now what about squaring the rear end? Do I change the bar angles to accomplish that? Or do I put them at the same angle and make sure the rear is squared?
Thanks for the help like I said I'm new and want to learn so I can be a competitive driver and not tear everyone else's cars up.

The brackets SHOULD be drilled on a radius matching the bar lengths. I would set the angle first and then square the rearend. The angles are used to tune the car for varrying tracks and conditions. The more angle, the more roll steer. Right side for entry and center. Left side for exit.

your bar angles really shouldn't have any effect on your scale numbers. Just make sure the rear is square, pinion angle is where you want it, and the spring mounts on the rear are directly below the buckets on the chassis. You should be able to move the bars all over the place and not affect your weight %'s
FWIW = I would put both bars level with the frame rails to start out. Then again, I always thought that if you were running different length bars, you put the short one on the right...

From what I have read and understand the short bar reacts faster.

We run quite a bit of angle in our baseline setup on the left side. At full drop it is 45 degrees, we run our right side bar up at about 5 - 7 degrees of angle. As others have said, bar angles shouldn't affect your scale numbers.
Also if you are looking for a good setup guide for basic scalling go to jetracinginc and download theirs. It will help take you through the steps to properly get your car set. Obviously some of the measurements in the Jet racing guide will not match the chassis you have, but the steps will help.

Thanks form leading me onto the jet guide that thing is really well put together! I am sure even though I have a old dirtworks car this will come in very handy |

Were are you going to be racing at? Let me know if I can help any more as you get your car together or start racing it. Good luck! Corey
