suspension tuning
March 28th, 2010
hey all, so im just sitting here after watching some great BMI and was thinking...i want to optimize the tunability of my suspension to get the best that i possibly can out of it and was hoping to get some experienced oppinions on the matter

1. spring rate and dampening affect both body roll and stroke? so on conditions where there are alot of bumps the dampening should be dialed down to obsorb more bumps but the trade off is body roll right?

2. how does adjusting dampening affect the tendency of the car to understeer, neutral steer, and over steer, front versus rear? for instance i drift on full stiff on all sides since the pad is always smooth and no problems with loosing front grip but in other situations id like to set up the car to be neutral to mild oversteer, suggesting a slightly softer front and stiffer rear?

3. anybody run no sway bars? currently ive been trying out no rear sway bar and it does seem to improve grip a bit, i have to really try to get it step out, drifting idealy no front and rear sway or all sway bars and grip ideally no rear or no sway bars?
