Is there any way to stiffen up one side of the rear suspension? Every once in a while at high speed (over 80) it feels like the right rear wheel on my 'Vette squats. I have a VB&P 400 lb mono spring and Bilstein sport shocks. This is also tied into my question about mono spring heat fatigue, just wondering why it feels spongy once in a while. Maybe it's my fat ass and the big speaker box in the back.:huh:
 
Get some koni classics for the rear and adjust one stiffer than the other.
 
Sounds like what you're after is corner weighting.

I have a similar suspension at the rear of the Triumph racer and spent many odd hours pondering the adjustability. In the end I adjusted the spring side to side as required and clamped it back down.

Not sure if that's an option with the vette rear cuz I don't have enough experience with it. Food for thought though...
