Tuning out just a little roll over

[Richard Grant]

The car needs to be scaled. Before having it scaled, you need new front springs to be sure that they are the same height. By having it scaled the conner weights will be adjusted to balance everything. Then the car will leave straight.

G body racers have been using a right side air bag to tune the suspension since the start of time !
Not the most sophisticated suspension ,but it's cheap and it works.
An antiroll bar or staggered spring rates may help fine tune the setup ,but a look under many good working G body cars will reveal a simple air bag and no hop upper bar setup.


Re read your post, did'nt see you had used the coil over setup.
Head to the scales.

If you don't have anything on the back ie: anti-roll or antis-way it's going to roll especially since you took the bar off the front. The anti-roll works really well, that is what I have on my g-body. I have also seen the big anti-sway bar work well. The anti-roll requires a little fabrication while the anti-sway should be a bolt on deal.

Hi

The anti-rollbar is the best for g-body cars .
I race a g-body car in k/sa ,my best 60 foot has been 1.46 . Adjustable rear shocks are a must . Trying to set up my car with scales was a waste of time for me . No air-bags or as i say the 2 x 4 setup . Stock rear springs are best on both sides . Front moroso springs are a must but do not cut . There is a lot more but every thing counts i have raced this car for 20 years and i am still finding things out . THis story never ends . The front end is another story . And the the rear end requres more .

Like Tom said.
Put air bag in pass rear spring and adjust til it suit ya.

Anti roll bar is the only way to fix this problem right. An air bag is just a band aid and who wants their car sitting up on that side, plus it throws the whole geometry of the rear suspension off.....The problem is that the rear control arms are moving at different rates when you launch the car; The right side is planting harder so it wants to try to "roll" the body to that side causing the separation on the left side. An anti roll bar will correct this so that both sides have to move at the same rate. Some people use a straight sway bar that ties the two rear lower control arms together and it works, if you did not want to invest in an anti roll bar.

I agree with K Stubbs, the anti-roll is the best. I have tried the air bag in the right rear, that is just a band-aid it will never get all the roll out. The big rear anti-sway bar works better, if you also use the front bar I have had every one of these setups in my car at one time or another. The anti-roll was the only one that made it exactly how I wanted it. It only took me seven yrs. to figure it out.
