Looking for tricks or idea's that might help with an increased corner speed. I have heard maybe bigger rotors to slow the car down quicker thus allowing for earlier acceleration??? The setup now consists of on a 79 camaro is 650 LF 600 RF with big sway bar as well as 200 RR and 175 LR. Do we maybe stiffen up the car more with additional bars?? just looking for suggestions, thank you for any help given.

im not sure abou how those cars handle cause i run a monte. but in my opinion, im not an expert on setups, but for one, it seems your front springs are too light, and your rear springs are too heavy. when you come out of the corner, you want the rear end to sit right down. im running the stock springs out back with the crappiest shocks i could find. and up front i have heavy springs, just ordered some 1200 and 1000 # springs for the front. and im running QA1 shocks set up by my local race shop. it handles really well but im hoping that the new springs will help.

is there anything that the car is doing?

I appreciate your response and may have to give that a test. Thanks again for the insight.

it all depends on waether you are running on dirt or pavement? for pavement i would put the stock sway bar with a 750# lf , 800# rf, 225# lr,and 175 or 200# rr. for dirt i would put stock sway bar with 500# lf ,600 rf, 175# and 150# rr.
