Default Tuning your suspension

I've seen a fair few people who want to advance their understanding of suspension and how they can improve what they have on their RDs and GCs and such. There's plenty of misinformation floating around and there isn't much I can do other than sound grumpy and boring.



Time for a nice writeup on some very relevant aspects of suspension setup for street and track use. Thankfully, I'm too lazy and illiterate to take the time to do it, so take a gander at some of the info on the Far North Racing e-book.



Some relevant topics covered:
  • wheel alignment
  • maximising drivability
  • shock absorber selection and setup
  • fwd-specific setup tips
  • tire data



This would probably be a good read for those who think hella-anything is a good idea
