I played with this a bit and ended up running mine loose enough where at full deflection of the pod the spring is about 1mm short of making contact with the spring seat and adjusting collar. With that said I am running hard bodies and blue springs where I see you running a lexan body and green springs so not sure how that translate but it might be worth playing with that.

Cheers,

I started with much softer side springs but was getting traction rolling. I went with the harder spring because that always seemed to help on the larger track. It did seem to make an improvement on the small track but maybe I've gone too far.

I'm running 0 deg camber in the front and may switch out to the 1.5. I would try 1deg but don't have any.

Headed downstairs now to put in my entry for this month.
