side bite

[HiTech]

having a discussion with someone over how to get just a tiny bit more right rear side bite off the turn ,,,leaf spring car with equal spring rating.. i say a tiny bit more left rear spring .the person said more right rear ..who is wrong..i know other factors could play a part but we are spring talking ...

need to know what the tire temps are.

There are so many variables that come into play when discussing turn exit, that it is almost impossible to give advice without knowing at least a dozen, or so, of the more important of those suspension variables. Stuff like roll couple distribution, tire stagger, tire temps, lowering blocks, weight distribution, etc.

 

However, the classic answer would be to either lower the RR spring rate or increase the LR spring rate.

 

That being said, many cars today use very low front spring rates coupled with very high sway bar rates. In order to balance the very heavy sway bar rate, some teams have found that a reverse spring split in the rear works well to balance the car. It is not uncommon to see cars using this set up to have RR springs that area significantly stiffer than the LR spring rates.

Dirt or asphalt?

 

A small increase in LR bite, pull the RR forward a little, stiffer LR spring, air pressure change, decrease roll-out, just to name a few. Whatever changes are made will most likely have the opposite affect on entry though.

Well since you are probably taliking about cc speedway I would bet the car is tight in the middle causing the loose out. Fix the middle and the out will be fixed.

For just the sake of your argument point only I'll agree with nick's classic answer. I think thats what your looking for.
