C/O shock damping starting point?

s4one · 03-09-2014, 08:51 PM

What is the general shock damping adjusting start point?

- Front/back full firm then back off quarter turn?

- If I want to dial out under-steer, should I do..?
1. Full firm front and back
2. front back off quarter firm
3. back back off half turn?

During a trackday over the weekend, the car felt sloppy halfway into the day, I stiffen the front quarter turn stiff and the session right after I dropped 4 sec on my lap time.

Honestly, after I got my c/o installed I did not mess with the shock firmness since I didn't really understand the dynamics of it. However, I want to get more information and start to make adjustments from session to session.

Thanks

Which c/o did you get? The shop that installed or distributor that sold the set should help set them up a bit......... that is the type of race shop/distributor I would buy from.
