Hi Bob,
I do have camber adjustment on the rear and that is what I thought I
might adjust for a hillclimb where more weight is on the rear. I have stiffer
springs (normal height) all the way around, rear sway bar, Koni shocks on rear
(tied into the roll cage), and currently zero degrees rear camber. I just
wondered if I should set the rear camber for something like one degree
positive for a hillclimb.
Jim

conditions increase or decrease TR6 squat?
Hi,
I doubt that a hillclimb
would add more squat on acceleration.
The squat on the TR6 is more or less a
feature.
You cannot dial it out with just springs. Well, you can (by running
stupidly stiff springs), but then the car won't handle.
The best thing you
can do is either completely replace the suspension with a better design, like
a Miata rear or maybe a BMW 3-series (or even TVR 2500 / Jag) OR run a better
shock setup that allows you to control the weight transfer...
Or you can live
with the squat. To that end, you SHOULD pay attention to whether you're
hitting the bump stops or not. If so, you def. need either stiffer springs /
bars or you need to learn to NOT "throw" the car around.
regards,
rml
