Is the rear end square? From what I see that thing should push like a dump truck.

drop those rear spring rates.  The 225 in the RR will make the car loose.  I agree though i think it might be push loose that he is feeling.

I would put a 185 LR and a 200 RR to start and see how that goes.  We run that on most tracks with success.  We just change out the front spring to set the corner differently depending on the track.

the rear end is square he says it takes little wheel input going into corner,iam beginning to think it might be a push to loose condition, ill drop rear springs and see what that does this week, car runs upfront every week  just cant seam to find what it takes to get it tightend up  alittle,  if you move the rearend inn to the left would that tightend one up on pavement, thanks for the help.
