I thought that this may be useful to anyone confused about suspension setting.

I beleive that handling improvement should be the first modification done to any car because in a race corners are the most important part.

If you can go faster round a corner you can go faster round the track without burning more fuel!


1) tire contact area can be increased by using wider tires, or tires with fewer grooves in the tread pattern. Of course fewer grooves has the opposite effect in wet weather or other poor road conditions.

2) These also improve road holding, under most conditions.
