    4-link advice, and launching

    I have a 4-linked axle fitted to my car, but have some queries. its using a Moser kit, with something like 13" top, and 15" lower bars.

    I have adjusted as best I can to aim the IC towards the gearstick. Im sure its not perfect, but its somewhere in that area.

    I hear talk of preload. Whats this about ??

    Ive just watched a vid-clip of my car going up the track, and I'm sure I see it leans to the right while accelerating. ( its also right hand drive, so Im sitting there )
    Isnt there some adjustment I can do with the 4-link bars to try and counter this ??
    I currently have coilovers with 175lb springs. Its a road car that I use for the strip occasionally. I wouldnt want to use softer springs that that.
    Race weight is about 3700lbs.

    Even with Nitto 555R 245/50x16, best 60ft I could get was 2.1s running a 11.50 @ 132mph best.
    I did do a good burnout to warm them up.
