Those single adjustable shocks are WORTHLESS and even more WORTHLESS with a stick. You need to be able to control bump and rebound separate from each other.

I doubt you have a tire problem. The other issues is your traction bars. I?ve never seen a stick car that wanted the bar running up hill, jacking the *** of the car up like a stink bug.

Get the bars running downhill and get better shocks. You?ll never get there with this shocks and I don?t care who makes them half assed work.

They may have great customer service but they ain?t paying you to test and tune their substandard shocks.

It is what it is.
so you are saying downward from the front bracket?

Whatever it takes to get the bar running downhill. Raise the back of the bar, lower the front or both.

That?s an issue I have with the bars you use. They don?t have nearly enough adjustment.

Like a ladder bar, the IC is always too short and too high with ANY bar like that, especially if you are making power or have a stick or worse you make power and have a stick.

So getting the IC as low as you can get it is how I tune them. I don’t tune stick/radial so I can’t answer to that.

I?m also a huge advocate of using the lightest flywheel you can find. Rotational inertia ends up at the tire and all the flywheel weight makes shock tuning different than it would be with a lighter flywheel.
