b'TECH TIP PAGE Tech Tip 25: The goal of dialing in your camber, caster & toe is to achieve the largest tire contact patch possible dynamically, when the car is in pitch & roll, under hard braking & turning in the corner. Forget static settings. Dynamic tire contact patch is our focus. Use tire temps across the tire to guide you on how well you are utilizing the entire contact patch. Plus, when the car is in dive, your front CG is lower AND more air flow is going over the car, instead of under it. Both of these benefits add front grip. Of course, the lower the car in dive, the lower the CG & the lower volume of airflow getting under the carthe larger the gain. But when the driver steps off the brakes, deep into the corner, the stored energy from the compressed front springs pushes the front end up in milliseconds. You instantly have less contact patch & a higher CG. In less than a second, youll also have more airflow under the front end. All bad. This is why most cars go into a push condition, upon brake release.Winning Racers learned they could modify the shock bleed circuit to keep the front end tied down for a short, controlled time. This allows the driver to get off the brakes earlier & carry much greater mid-corner speed. This time off the brakes & before throttle is called the roll thru zone. The rest of the time, the shocks work normal. We utilize tie down in all of our Secret Sauce shocks for Autocross, Track & Road Racing.Tech Tip 30: Fine tuning the balance of your race car is easy with the right strategy & components. Ron loves to fine tune the rear sway bar for mid corner grip & balance. If you havent thought it out yetsway bars are progressive on corner entryfrom zero rate when the car is straightand progressive in rate as the car starts turns inreaching max rate near mid-corner when the steering gets to 100%. Swa1y bars are also digressive on corner exit from max rate back to zero rate as the steering unwinds gradually. The sway bars are one of the few tuning itemsthat affect the mid-corner roll through zone. Need the car to turn better here? Increase therear sway bar rate. Need more grip in the rollthrough zone?Decrease the rear sway bar rate. Ron designed our rear sway bar with 4 holes,.75 apart instead of 3 holes 1 apart for more fine tuning. Plus, you can split holes, providingthe RSRT rear sway bar with 7 rates!If the bar Ron specs for you has rates of 161#, 183#, 210# & 244#by splitting the links, you add 172#, 197# & 227#. This allows you to fine tune the Roll Through Zone rear grip for near perfect neutral, balanced handling.222'
