confused about oversteer/understeer...
I am looking at thsi great thread: http://importsnc.com/forums/car-tech...via-setup.html
problem is i don't get most of it. like at suspensions/coilovers it says for example "Increase rear rate only - Rear ride rate increases. Rear roll resistance increases, increasing oversteer or reducing understeer." what does this mean exactly? doesnt increaing oversteer mean better drifting capabilities? Can someone enlighten me heres the whole setup list quoted from thread Spring/shock adjustment guide Spring Rate Changes (def. important for those who dont pay att. to this) Modification - Effect on Suspension Increase front and rear rate - Ride harshness increases; tires may not follow bumps causing reduced traction. Roll resistance increases. Increase front rate only - Front ride rate increases. Front roll resistance increases, increasing understeer or reducing oversteer. Increase rear rate only - Rear ride rate increases. Rear roll resistance increases, increasing oversteer or reducing understeer. Decrease front and rear rate - Ride harshness decreases; tires follow bumps more effectively, possibly improving traction. Roll resistance decreases. Decrease front rate only - Front ride rate decreases. Front roll resistance decreases, decreasing understeer or increasing oversteer. Decrease rear rate only - Rear ride rate decreases. Rear roll resistance decreases, decreasing oversteer or increasing understeer. |
