TRue to the form a message board, any good information shared is rarely appreciated and oftened argued with by those with much less knowledge in the area.
I'm done arguing, i've been there and done that with not only my own ride, but i had the experience of working with one of the only teams in stock eliminator racing, campaining 3 late model F-bodies on a stock legal suspension, who did nothing but set national records. I didnt specifically set up those cars (that was another guys work), however i did spend quite a bit of time adjusting weight bias and shock settings in the cars.
A suspension is a suspension, they can be related from one to another, especially when talking about street/strip rear wheel drive, heavy cars.
My personal car, which i've done extensive testing with, including $2500 in different sets of shocks, 4 sets of coil springs, 3 sets of leaf springs, and 3 types of bushings, and 2 styles of rear suspension traction systems
Adjusted the ballast, and front shocks numerous times, as we changed drivers and classes multiple times, along with going over the suspension setup with the guy who set it up.
Solved the wild bounce problem in this car, along with adjusting the wheelie to the current height. It now does 3' wheelies and lands with 1 solo, even bounce, and settles.
I designed all aspects and built all aspects of this frame from a completely clean sheet of paper.
Built this car from the ground up, i'm currently in the sheetmetal fab stage of it.
Your right....i dont know ANYTHING about suspensions
