[QUOTE="TXPD, post: 11867859, member: 46922"] stop. stop right now. you are a novice, correct? i can tell you from experience and every other experienced track driver here will back me up. you dont know nearly enough about driving on a race track to make that judgement. its more likely that your car was loose because of the way you were driving it as opposed to something being wrong with the car. its more likely that if the car was ill handling, that it was a result of your modifications from stock than a need for MORE modifications. if you turn in at the wrong spot, your car can show oversteer. if you turn in with too much speed, it can oversteer. if you get back to the gas too early or too hard, the back end can step out. if your tires air pressure are off by as little as a single pound of air rear to front, it can be loose. if you are running street tires and running a track tire line, the can can get unsettled. all of that can be and should be addressed before you change the hardware on your car. where was it loose? on turn in? in the center? on exit under power? was it in the left hand corners or the right hand or both? what were your pressures? i am a baseline, middle of the pack racer. i am not tony stewart or dean martin. i still know this. i check and adjust my pressures if my car is off. if that doesnt fix it, i adjust my shock settings. if it still needs more, i change my spring rates. messing with your springs and your geometry and so forth are major changes that you should be careful about. i'll put this another way. the boss 302 was heavily developed by ford motor company to handle in the corners of a race course and the properly handle the horsepower provided in the factory package. this has been confirmed by numerous experienced drivers who reviewed the car when introduced. you are a track novice. before you have even taken the car to the track to get to know both the car on the track and driving on the track in general, you have changed the basic set up of the car. how can you possibly know what the proper settings should be? my advice is that if you want springs to make the car look cool for the street, leave it as it is. when you go to the race track next, put the stock set up back on the car and get plenty of proper instruction at the race track on your driving before you monkey with the car anymore. the loose is much more likely your driving right now than the car, but its hard to know for sure because its been changed already [/QUOTE]
