QuestionWell lets try to put some weight on the LF by lowering the RR a little, take an inch of ride height out of the RR. Shorten the spring by cutting one coil off the top. You'll have to use a high speed cutter, a hacksaw will take you all week !
First of all, thanks for all the great info you give out. The above statement was made by you on a earlier post.. my quest is how does lowering the RR put weight on the LF. It seems to me you would have to raise the RR to add weight to the LF. Im am very new to racing and i am trying to learn everything i can. Just want you to explain how this will add weight to LF so i will better understand.. thanks in advance
AnswerHi again Jimmy:
Lowering the RR will cause cause the LF to rise, for reasons I even have difficulty understanding, that should add some weight to the LF. I was trying to avoid simply raising the LF by itself and adding another factor to the mix, plus doing it that way could loosen up the back end a bit much.
When making chassis changes like this, ALWAYS take notes, and KEEP them, and never change more than one thing at a time. This way you are never trying to out guess yourself. If a change works, the car feels better and is doing faster laps, be sure to write the results down, and save them.
It's better to buy a three-ring binder and use notebook paper cuz you can doodle on a page and pitch it , but keep the important stuff. A smaller note book or composition book tends to get lost, thrown around and generally they disappear just when you need them.
Anyhow, I hope this answers your question !!
