What confused me is earlier in the thread you stated you needed more exit steering. but here your saying lowering the shims takes the exit away..but yet you got faster.
I haven't noticed a big change when raising or lowering. the exit steering i gained was when i moved the ball stud from the outside to the inside location on the tower. The general rule is that less = more push on exit.
If you got faster with less shims. then I need to try it out
. I'm currently at 4mm front and rear. which was 2 or 3mm less than what Kinwald was running.
like you just said it is a minimal difference not enough to overcome what is really causing the exit push. it got better but not enough. yesterday i added 2mm to the rear RC and it over rotated especially at the end of the straight. at his point i dont think its rear rotation that i need but i need more front grip on exit which leads me to believe that the dif fluid is the culprit. I am very close to getting what i want , a few more test days and i think i will be there. keep in mind that i am running the 2 stage pistons which alter weight transfer dramatically.
it got quicker because of the sharpness on turn entry, although it still pushed on exit i can drive into the turns aggressively and i think you gain more time with turn entry than turn exit. dont get me wrong the truck is waaaaaaay better than before but why stop now? look at the leaps we have all taken in only a week! i have already dropped almost a second off of my time, thats progress!
