How much shock travel are you getting? you have a lot of cross weight or bite in the car. Taking some cross out will help the car going in but to much and you will loose some bite comming off the corner. IF you are not close to travel limit on the right front you can take take some spring rate out of that corner. or if you have jack screws on the rear come up on the Lt rear IE lower the frame hight on that side. you might also try discoing the front sway bar for a lap in practise this will loosen the car up on entry. I know it sounds but It fixed one of my cars. Good Luck

You would do better using soft spring setup all four corners of the car. I bet you are lowering tire presure to try and get more bite. Put tire presures back up all around somewhere around 32. What happens with stiff springs and low tire presure is that on this type car the tires used will flex to much in the corner especially going in. By raising air in tire you keep it doing what was intened. But that also raises spring rates. Go down on spring rates. LF 550, RF 600 LR 175 RR 200. And also sway bar should be barley tightened that is just touch the rubber to the bar doesn't put any presure on the links. Then play with tire presures its easier than continually changing things. Also Check tire stagger in front. Sometimes based on roll center you have to increase the size of the RF tire. If your track is 3/8 to 1/2 mile move weight from the right side of car to the left rear. That can help too. There you are changing the static weight of the left side. The only way you can do that is by moving physical weight. Changing sprung weight does not affect left side of car. Anyway hope those ideas help.

Way to many variables without more info. But I'll throw in another idea. Its posible,especially with lots of weight transfer (i.e. g-force), that the camber curve in the right front is moving to fast causing the tire to never take a set at the right front. This could explain why the problem is on entry. Have that right front spring checked to be sure it is a 900 and hasn"t given up. Also check your shocks. Don't be afraid to throw a spring rubber in the right front to see if it helps.

Since you don't have a camber issue and its only on entry I would change shocks. Increase rebound in LR and soften compression in RF. You seem to be transferring weight to quickly on entry causing a spike in cross weight. The shock change should not effect the car any where else on the track.

honestly, try running a little less rf spring maybe an 800 and a little stiffer lr to make up the wedge so you don't lose exit speed, a little more roll on the front will loosen you on entry, stiffer lr will make up for the loss of bite off the turn.

sounds to me like u have a brake push, if it is only going into the corner, can u run a proportioning valve or a brake balance bar ? if so then install one or the other and find the brake balance.
