Hi all,
Well here is a little feedback on what I have done to remedy my drift or floating problem.
After reading all suggestions and talking it over with the guys at McDonald Bros. Racing we decided not to alter the front end alignment but to play with the shockers.
I have the QA1 shockers and they are mainly a drag racing type of shocker, but I am told they are more than suitable - see my photo shoot of the shocker.
I had them set at 4 the higher end. I adjusted the front down to 10 ( They have settings from 0 - 12 with 12 being tight/down).
I lifted the rear end by about an inche moving the four bars. There are three settings on the rear. I left the rear shockers set on 4.
Had someone standing on the side of the road to give me feedback on the front lifting etc.
Three or four passes at 170 and it appears the car sits dead level at that speed. So there is still slight lifting of the front still as the car was level prior to lifting it an inche.
I then ran down at 190 - 200 and there does not appear to be any floating or lift. So adjusting the shockers really has made a difference. I will consider lowering the rear end back and trying all of the above again.
At this stage there has been a real change.
Cheers
