Quoted text (45 lines)>> recently I have been working on a Charoltte setup. The problem is that >> I want to stiffen the car only on the exit of the corner, i.e. turns 2 >> and 4 >> when I get back on the gas hard the back end swings around and the car >> dives off the bank >> its important that I don't stiffen the car going into the turn. this >> would make me have to get on the brakes more and loose speed >> I consulted Jan Kols quick fix guide and it says for my problem to >> soften left front >> stiffen left rear >> this makes no sense to me. I know for sure that soften the front shocks >> and stiffen the rear makes the car more loose, not more tight. >> I this a typo? >> p.s. when I tried playing with the shocks what seemed to work best was >> soften the right rear. This made the car stable when I got back on the >> gas but didn't stiffen it to much going into the turn >> or at least thats how it seemed to me >> also this makes sense to me because I know getting on the gas pushes the >> weight to the rear so I would figure that exiting the turn the turn the >> rear shocks would be most important >> p.p.s. I know that Jan Kohl is much better then me at N2 but his quick >> fix guide still dosen't make sense to me >> please respond >> -later- >Try this raise left front; and/or lower left rear: >When accelerating and straighting the wheel, the weight transfers back >to the left rear of the car. If you raise the left front it will keep >more weight back on the right rear, and lowering the left rear keeps >more weight at the rear. You might have to adjust your driving style a >bit; also make sure you drive enough laps to warm up the tires. >Hope this helps. BTW, I got this info at >[link lost in import] >-- >James
It's not easy to be perfect for every corner
