Setup Questions - Gain More Off Power Steering / Better Mid-Corner Tracking out of turn.

Here are a couple of things to try;
1. Go lower in rear diff oil
2. decrease rear camber arm length
(car should feel like it wants to rotate faster)
(go opposite for a less rotating feeling)
3. add droop to front (off power steering)
4. add droop to rear (more rotation / less traction in rear)
5. decrease front caster (I would start with 19deg)
6. move rear shocks position on upper rear tower out more.
(should take a little traction away from the rear)
7. decrease wheelbase (?)

Also, it will depend on what tires your running also. If you are running a pin style tire in the rear like a crimefighter, try cutting the out side pin off or cut them at an angle, that might be all you need. (Rear tires only)

As for setup changes, I probably would start with the oil and front caster changes since they are quick and easy. Then move on to droop. Or maybe just shorten the camber link in the rear.

Maybe you already know this, but make sure your adjustments are small and one at a time, doing to many adjustments at once will not help in understanding what does what and how well it didn't or did work.
