b'Suspension TuningTrack Tuning Tips: As track conditions change throughout the event, or when you run different tracks, having quick & easy tuning methods is crucial. There are many proven methods, if you build them into your car from the start. We outline many here:Quik-Tune Watts or Panhard Bar: oAdjusting up shifts grip to the front tires & down shifts grip to rear tires Quik-Tune 3-Link Top Link (or Accel Link on Decoupled 3-Links): oAdjusting the front down provides more rear grip at initial throttle roll on & less rear grip later on long, sweeping corner exits. Adjusting down does the opposite Quik-Tune Sway Bars: oAdjusting the links to make the arms longer makes the bar softer, shifts grip to that end of the car & shorter makes the bar stiffer, shifting grip to the other end of the car oFor fine tuning you can adjust just one side for half the change Quik-Tune Coil-Over Adjusters:oAdjusting the LF & RR up & the RF & LR down equal amounts tightens the car on RH corners & frees the car on LH corners without affecting the ride height of the car.oAdjusting the RF & LR up & the LF & RR down equal amounts tightens the car on LH corners & frees the car on RH corners. Perfect for courses with a majority of turns one direction & a minority of turns the other directionCockpit Coil-Over Wedge Adjuster:oAchieves the same goal as above, except can be adjusted by driver on track, to dial in handling for that session. With the hydraulic weight jacker set in the middle, the driver can shift grip to help either RH or LH corners with a knob turn on the console Bump Stops on Front Shocks: oIncreasing shims loads the rear tires harder increasing rear grip on corner entry under braking & reducing shims loads the fronts more increasing front grip on entry oAdding a shim to only one side (LF for example) adds dynamic wedge on corner entry & tightens the car on RH corner entry & frees the car on LH corner entry Rear Wheel Spacers:oWhen we have an extra inch width in the rear wheel tubs, we build the floater rear end (5/8 studs) 1 narrower on each side & setup our neutral baseline to run 1/2 wheel spacers. At the track, decreasing or removing the spacers shifts grip to the rear tires & increasing the spacer thicknesses (1 Max) shifts grip to the front tires Spring Rubbers: oCreating our neutral setup at the shop with moderate rate spring rubbers already in the rear coil-over springs provides us a quick track tuning tool oChanging to stiffer rate spring rubbers in the rear shifts grip to the front tires & softer spring rubbers in the rear (or removed altogether) shifts grip to the rear tires Brake Bias Cockpit Cable Adjuster: oAdjusting the brake bias towards the front brakes tightens up the race car under hard braking & shifting bias to the rears frees up the car under hard braking Basic Shock Tuning: oAdjust the shock valving when the handling issue only happens on TRANSITION from or to throttle, braking and/or steering input. oStiffening the front shock compression and/or rear shock rebound tightens the car on corner entry & at brake release. Softening the front compression and/or rear rebound frees the car on entry & at brake release. oSofter front rebound and/or stiffer rear rebound tightens the exit & vice versa.724'
