Handling vs Traction

Handling The settings will vary depending on spring rate. I f very firm springs are utilized, the compression may have to be set softer and the rebound firmer. In addition, the road surface condition s will also have an impact on the settings. For rough roads , it may be necessary to soften the rebound, as the vehicle may have a tendency to skip across the road, e.g. if you encounter a rough patch in a turn .   Maximize traction This will depend on how you want the car to react. Do you want to maximize weight transfer? If so, the front will be set with a stiffer compression and soft rebound, while the rear will have a soft compression and stiffer rebound. If you want to limit weight transfer, the settings will go in the opposite direction.   Road conditions will impact the settings , too . A hot smooth road may require stiffer compression and rebound. And vice versa for rough roads and low temperatures.   Also , if the tires spin at the hit, soften the rebo...

How to Remove Understeer and Oversteer

UNDERSTEER The first stage to check is if there is any friction or jamming of suspension components in the front suspension system as this can cause the front to jam and prevents the spring and damper from working. CORNER ENTRY The first question to ask now you have identified the understeer as occurring in corner entry is,  are you entering the corner after being hard on the brakes ?   If the answer is yes  then you have two options to solve the understeer:   1) Increase front damper rebound stiffness. If you have high or low speed damper adjustment then increase the low speed rebound stiffness only.   2) Reduce the front brake bias.   If the answer is no  then you must ask yourself another question,  are you entering the corner at high speed or mid to low speed ?   If the answer is high speed  then one of the following options can be used to solve the understeer:   1) Reduce front ride height   2) Increase front aerodynamic d...
