Dial In Your Coil Spring Car
At the track, chassis guy Mike Moran started out with six clicks on the single-adjustable front shocks and set the double-adjustable rear shocks at three clicks on compression and three clicks on rebound. We then watched the launch on videotape. If the car transferred weight before the rear end lifted on launch, the shock was doing its job. A stiffer shock slows the transfer of weight, a soft shock speeds it, sticky tracks require a stiffer setting, and slippery tracks require a softer setting. Moran wrote notes on the shock with a Sharpie pen detailing the adjustments for each run. On the fronts we ended up at five clicks clockwise. On the rears, we stayed with the initial setting.
