There are 2 schools of thought here. Scott is obviously coming from a major circle track background on his techniques. If he can make a late model turn left and do it competetively....then I would take his advice and take it to heart.

There are so many contributing factors in suspension and how they work. Scott is right on when he says that if you make an adjustment to the RF coil over you have to make an adjustment to the LF coil over as well. Down 2 turns on the RF...up 2 turns on the LF. Thats a huge adjustment mind you but you get the point.

All that being said you also have to remember to compensate for dynamic actions as well. Setting static weights in the shop is great but what you do and have an understanding for what happens at the track is even better.

Someone said they run their toe at 0 so the ruts in the road dont play with the car so bad. A 1/4 in on toe would probably make it even better. Toe in makes the car alot more stable down the straights. Toe out on the other hand makes going down the straights a real pain...but corner entry is great...give a little, gain a little.

I know in kart racing we are doing now with my son...I can make a 1/4" change on tire offset and the whole turn entry of the kart

Long story short...Nobody is really wrong or right. Set your car up for fun and go from there. If you want to start circle track racing....Give Scott a call. Just dont expect him to teach you everything....lol.
