Default Scary Handling
Was hoping to lean on the wisdom of fellow Back Draft RT4 owners here. About a month ago I purchased a beautiful RT4B with the Roush 427 motor and Tremac transmission. The car is stunning to look at and rocket ship fast, but the handling does not feel like it would be good for track days. For reference sake I am a very experienced SCCA road racer so I do notice exactly what the car is doing when I push it in the turns.

My main gripe is that the rear suspension feels like it needs more rebound dampening and probably more spring rate. However I understand that the shocks are non-adjustable for rebound dampening. Also the steering rack is too slow for track work.

Are there any solutions to this for the RT4? When I called Back Draft they told me there are no other shocks or steering racks available for the car.

Thanks
Gary
