So basically a lower spring rate is better for daily street (and offroad) and stiffer springs is only ideal for track day or race cars but what about the dampers and how can different ride height from the back end and front end of the car affect your handling?
YOU are amazing. Thank you for your videos. Cheers
I lost you at about 30seconds :P
I’ve read that stiffer suspension requires grippier tires. Is that true? And if it is, why?
For track use, stiffer is better, no energy lost. For off road, you nee compliance and an agreement between rebound and compression so that you do not bottom out as often and you don’t get kicked by the rebound when you least expect it. Depends on what you want really. I myself would love to be able to have high and low speed adjustments on both compression and rebound. That basically means that, if I please, with the turn of a few knobs I can go off road or on track. :)
AC Schnitzer suspension motto "better fast than hard"
"Two cars driving . They’re about to collide, which is unfortunate, but that is irrelevant." The way he said it…… totally made my day! lol
supposed to be doing homework. aaanndd now i’m going to binge watch this channel for the next 3 hours. damn procrastination :/ Lol
that popped collar tho
What he’s not taking into account, is weight transfer on a vehicle due to spring compression during cornering. Too-soft springs cause the outside front tire to take all the load, and removes weight from the other three tires on the vehicle. This can be alleviated somewhat with better anti-sway and anti-roll features, but nothing beats simply stiffening the springs so they don’t collapse under weight transfer.
