If it jacks you up, then instead of changing back to the softer spring, make your rear camber link longer and try that first before you change it back...

I might be more inclined myself to put a washer under the inside camber link ball at the same time I switch to stiffer spring. But knowing the feeling of each change is important I think.

Wow you think you need more than a 10.5 on that track? I'd have never guessed more than a 13.5 would be all you'd need. Our clay track is at least 4 times larger than that and people run 8.5 on it. I'm fine with 10.5 on it.

Might be overkill, but it helps me clear some of the larger jumps. Maybe once I learn how to drive better I won't need it :-D.

I am very good at doing cartwheels myself :lol: . I always think after it is done I will see a wheel flopping around, but it keeps on going.
