Thanks for the read, always helpful to have easy formulas to follow that can help everyone understand how to get started when adjusting their suspension setup for better acceleration.

that was a good read. i'm going to try and get these formula's plugged into excel to play around with some numbers. i'd really like to get some suspension tuning as my car has ZERO chassis tuning and spins like crazy at the track. i trap 100+ in the 1/8th but run 7's! lol

Thanks. I'll have a buddy do that for me. I found another good site. Go to Chris Alstons chassis works site. Excellent shock tunning info.
