So I got the car to the tack today finally, only made 2 passes, really only wanted to see how the car felt. Anyway, when launching and under power ( boost hits ) cars pulls like a mother to the left, as in really pulls to the left had to shut it down to save from getting into the wall...Man I was scared.... So anyway, anyone want to give me tips on setting up the suspension, and so on....

Oh yeah running "ahem" VR6T making close to 500whp with 27x10x15 slicks, Quaife LSD, suspention is the Bilstein PSS9

 

Double check your tires pressures, they have to be even! One being off a little could cause that. There's really no trick to suspension as far as making it go straight out of the hole. It also helps if you line up straight, though i'm not saying that you weren't, just stating that.

 

both tires were 10psi, M&H slicks, it's not just the launch it was all the way down the track, car just wanted to pull to the left all the way, first run, I didnt warm up the tires just wanted to see how it went down the track, second time I warmed them up, first time saw alot of wheel spin, duh ofcourse LOl, but still pulled left, just not at as bad, second time, it was a real fight to hold the car straight, thats why I shut it down by the 1/8th, I have to admit I was pretty scared LOL.....

This is the second run, you can see how far it veers nearly in the blue before the 60'

Alignment? Double Check it...

Yes,I agree but make sure you get a 4-Wheel alignment,not just the front.If the alignment checks out ok,I would check/change/beef up all the motor/tranny mounts to play it safe.

btw..maybe you could put it on a dyno and see how the car reacts.

 

does your car have equal length axles and a half shaft like a honda or one long and one short axle. one long and one short will do the same thing with a lot of power.

 

DO you have large spacers between the hub and the wheel?

 

Shafts are short on the drivers side, long on the passenger, no half shafts for us VW guys ...

Wheels are made by Bogart, so the only spacer in there is for brake clearance

 

My Neon has the same setup as you do, long and a short. Last year I was also
experianceing the same thing, real hard pull to the left.

I had 1" spacers between the wheel and the hub, I assumed this was causeing
the pull. So I moved the strut in to clear the wheel w/o the spacer. At the same
time I installed camber plates and replaced the stock rubber control arm bushings.

One of the 3 mods cured the problem, she pulls straight as a string now.

Hope this helps!
