Default Help Needed! How do I stop excessive body roll in the rear? Pics Inside
Corner entry seems okay! Corner exit is reeking havoc with the vehicles balance.







Do I:




Go with more front bar?
Increase low speed rebound?
Decrease bump?













Although I know this is a bit inane, you'd be surprised how fast you can really run this setup. Although it would have been nice to have 8 and 9 brake markers!

Mike

Hook the grass edge of the FIA curb with the inside edge of your left wheels. Launch the trailer into the air and it will help rotate you into the next corner!

Hey, it works in a Miata...

You think you have problems??

I am going to need a wing big enough for a Cessna front and rear

And outriggers to check the body roll on this thing........

Kinda tuff to keep it on the high bank..

Does Pfadt make 105mm bars?

Your lap times would really improve if you stopped going around the track in reverse.

Trak bar adjustment, change air pressures and don't forget to use the air horn.
