Hi here
Any one has some good setup for the foam spec that i should try?
i am a pretty newbie to touring so any help is good
The thing's i have done is just added some anti-caster at front and added 800 oil in front shock's and 550 in the rear shock and added 1,2 swaybar at rear. this helped alot in the consitency of the car but i feel the diffs are not quite where i want them, they are slipping from stand still. If i thight'en them more they are getting more gritty
What should i do here?

If you dont already have it, get a set of ceramic diff balls, end up with RGP diff grease, and your diff is bullet proff!

Larry,
thanks for the input and the explaination. Once we put those wide hexes on the front of the car, with that one simple change, it was butter (with a setup that's very similar to the one that you posted previously). Unfortunately, the other Top guys didn't happen to tell me about the optional wide hexes until after the race day was over. But in post-race practice, soon as we put the wider hexes on....the thing was really good and it's handling stayed consistent throught the whole run. For the first day with this car, I was impressed with it and very satisfied. Now that its late run handling issue is fixed, I'm really looking forward to the next outing. Seems that there's lots to learn in this sedan area. Already I've learned that only a little of my experience from so many years of pancar racing will tranfer to the bigger cars. Lots of stuff about sedan racing will need to be learned from scratch. At least I've got a good piece to work with and a group of good guys to learn from.

1mm wheel spacers will have the same effect as wide hexes.
If you're not already running them, ceramic balls in the diff (and new diff plates) are a must.
