general
|
- Softer springs and sway bars make for increasing grip in turns and decreasing tire wear and temperature.
- But it as well decreases the car's responsiveness and requires higher ride height.
- Balance grip/wear vs. response by adjusting spring (bump/rebound) and sway bar tensions
|
- decreasing tire pressure makes for better grip, but increases tire temps and wear
- increasing front toe-in makes for better turning, but increases tire temps and wear
- increasing camber makes for better turning, but increases tire temps and wear
- balance tire temps by adjusting camber, toe-in and tire pressure
|
- stiffer suspensions make for better car control, but make vulnerable to bumps and curbs
- Balance ride height and decrease compression/rebound dampers tension to avoid the car getting flipped on curbs
|
- Balance brake bias and brake force to reduce tire wear from blocking front or rear tires
