    coilover ajustments

    rite i have a set of AVO coilovers on my car, im very very happy with them, but i really wanna set em up properly

    their not siezed up or anything so i can adjust them really well

    just wanna know how u can tell wether you are making your set-up too hard or wether it needs to be harder??

    i know that they need to be pretty hard, but dont wanna make em too hard and end up shaggin something

    cheers guys

    are you on about spring height or rebound/ stiff ness setting. spring height should be set on corner weight plates but can be set on a flat surface by measuring sill height. stiffness is all a matter of taste unless you can afford track time to lap time yourself. though waste of time if its a road car. drive your favorite roads on min and max settings then adjust to suit

    again its all about testing. thats why all the big teams spend hours tweaking to shave a second a lap. and even the same touring cars are set different for different drivers. there is no magic formula different settings work better for different drivers on the same circuit.
