What videos do you guys recommend watching in order to understand tire and suspension settings. Or threads to read. I feel like yes, I love cars, and working on them, but suspension, tuning, alignment settings have been areas that I just left to other people to take care of. I'm also amazed on how much knowledge is out there regarding cars.
For example, playing Gran Turismo, I buy the highest level of suspension, all these performance parts, but I have no idea on how to set up a car. I just lower it and stiffen the suspension, but I have no idea on what I'm actually doing. How do you set up a car? Is it depending on its center of gravity? Power? Weight? How do tire alignment and suspension settings work with each other? There's also things like gear ratios, final drive, etc. I always tell others that owning a car is more than just doing an oil change and make sure it doesn't run out of gas. I personally like to understand a system that Im working on, or own, same reason of why I decided to build my PC so that I could understand what was going on, now I can easily diagnose issues and make recommendations on parts. Someone show me the way. |

Tunning suspension is a tedious trial & error to dial in for your preference/needs.

Haha... Imagine me holding my dad's slide rule with a stack of textbooks on a shelf behind me.
It's fucking black art.

When I was like 16 or 17 I had a shock revalved by a popular tuner. I was having a hard time dialing it in so I called them. The guy answers the phone, asks me a couple questions, and then tells me " turn the compression knob full soft and go for a ride, turn it full stiff and go for a ride. Do the same for rebound. When you can explain the difference you are feeling then call me back. "
