How to properly tune your suspension?

[Nicksemianiw]

I have been stuck on this for a while now and i was wondering what the correct way to tune your suspention is! I have been searching for a while now and havent come up with anything. If somone could post some specs for full racing suspension,Drift,Street,Drag and circut racing. I think this will be benifical to everyone!. Thanks in advance

In the last 2 issues Sport Compact Car they have had a real good suspention tuning section that they are doing on a 350Z. It is very informative. Pick it up, check it out.

Funny thing is i had the "Project car race" issue and it had it and i lost it! lol. But still i think from peoples experances explaining what they feel works best on 240s s13's and s14's. Because what might work for a 350Z might not work for a 240. So boys post em up!!!

i had the big hicas sway in the rear, but swapped it in favor of the smaller stock bar.

also the may issue of sports car (SCCA mag) had a really good article on how to tune things. its more general than specific, but the info and steps are probably what you want..

after that its a matter of adjusting tire psi for me.

Each car requires a different tune.

It can be counterbeneficial accepting other people's setups.

yep

and driving technique will faect how someone thinks a car feels..oversteer and understeer can be mistaken for someone comming into a turn too hot or apexing late, etc...

The skidpad is you freind. And probe type pyrometers are you tool of choice.
