Haven't seen any undertrays, but have been toying with the idea of making some.

focus on oils first. heavier to slow down the springs reaction or lighter to allow the spring to work more. and try different springs. BUT Depending on the way the bumps are you might just leave it alone. don't dial yourself out of 90% of the track to be dialed for 10%.

That was on purpose. I build all of my cars so that when you turn the turnbuckle forward it lengthens it and back if shortens it.

+1... I always install mine in the same direction as well. I always want the turnbuckle to do the same thing on both sides of car when I am looking at it from either end.

it doesnt seem to be horrible in that straight but sometimes i have to correct to not wreck because it upsets it. im running stock springs right now 21 ride height 40wt and 35wt rear associated.

I'm using the factory terminology directly from the manual, it refers to them as FF FR RF RR . So in fact the term rear as I said applies to 3 of the 4 suspension holders. Using those terms clearly indicates which one where the eccentric bushings are changed.
I fully understand how the use of the bushings applies to changes in the car which is why I asked for an explanation. To that point the answer has still not been given. Toe change ? Track width change ? Rear only ?
It would help to use complete and correct terminology.

The only person not getting what i'm saying, is you.

If you understand how the bushings work, you would understand that adding .5 to the outsides of both the front and rear of the rear gearbox would give you a greater track width. Putting the same .5 bushings to the inside would give you a narrower track width.


Simple enough?

the stock oils are closer to 37.5 and 27.5. the rear oil being so much heavier may be causing it to pack up too quick and then upset.

and ride height closer to 18 or 19 is probably going to help too.

good luck
