If it went the wrong way, slowed down with the bar change, then you eventually want to go back to the original and work from there.

Yes, the chassis can be made to squat down onto the tire with the 4 link. Tightening the bump on the shock or moving the front of the bottom bar up will reduce or eliminate that. Excessive squat may cause the tire to rub in a tub if it is too close early. Typically, once the car has moved off the starting line a bit, (before 60') it will come back up off the suspension, depending on shocks, etc. Again, down track, on a car that's not high horsepower, radial and/or something else peculiar, it should come back to near ride height in the rear.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
