Thanks for the advice guys. I have an 88 monte and we seem to push in and push out no matter what we do. We lowered the front springs to 900RF and 800LF along with a bigger bar which seemed to help. Its still not where I want it to be but I never tried;
1200RF
1100LF
225RR
250LR
1-1/16 SWAY BAR
52% LEFT
52% CROSS
6 valve RF
5's everywhere else
Think I will try that and see where it takes me. It sounds like everyone is going to softer springs but when I speak to the local racecar manufacturer he tells me to go up in springs.
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE???
Thanks Guys

TRY GOING UP.
One guy sugested R/F 1500 L/f 1200 etc. I want to try that out I think it will work. I started with 1000 and 900 and have been going up all last season and ended up at 1400 and 1200 and it keeps getting better.

I would def think your too soft in the front but without knowing a little about the track I can't give good info. If its a higher banked track you very soft. if its a flat track softer can be good but you'll need some shock changes and more. if the track has a uneven transition from the straights to the turns the bbss(big bar soft spring) setup won't work. As far as the chains mentioned earlier I think they are just a crutch...it seems a properly setup susp would be much better.

Taking a stab at the track it wouls be around 12-14 degree corners with a slight straight away.
Kinda bumpy in the corners.
