On a track like Laguna Seca, where you can gain a lot on left hand corners, it pays to have a biased setup that keeps more grip on the left side tires, the rights are going to grip regardless, the weak link is the left, as using all 4 tires the most effectively will give you the most grip and overall lap time. To get the most out of a track like LS you want to delay weight transfer to the front right, and unload it as quickly as possible, you also want to stop front weight transfer since so much lap time comes from braking deep into the corners. This means soft rebound and stiff compression on the front right, and soft compression on the rear left and stiff rebound. The front left, and rear right would be tuned to driver preference. With coil overs you could also alter the ride height to control this weight transfer, by raising the front right and increasing spring pre-load. In theory, much like you run negative camber to make the tire flat in the corners, so too, can damping and ride height work to achieve this. Thanks for the video and the chance to expand on the subject for the future.
Great video! I've been having issues with the rebound setting on my one-way set. On the exit of T13 of TMP, my front would bounce excessively. This helps to clarify things a lot!
This video couldn't have come at a better time. My G87 is on order and I'm looking into what suspension I should look at after getting some seat time with the stock car. I really appreciate you breaking this all down to understand! I can't wait to see what else you have in store! Cheers!
If you think about the suspension frequency on an 18in wheel, at ~90-120mph high speed damping starts having an effect on handling as well, simply because of the frequency of the road and the tire. Once you add aero into the mix, then high speed damping really starts to affect handling, since high speed damping can cause a car to jack down, or up at certain stiffness and frequency. This means you start affecting ride height, and center of pressure, as well as mechanical balance.
If you don’t know a Kyle… you just might be Kyle… 😂 but check back next week to see how Kyle has been kicking ass in local time attack with what he’s learned here.

That is some amazing technical insight, thank you for sharing it and watching. Will definitely expand more in future videos.
Very useful for us track rats, learned something new today and looking forward to more episodes in this series!
This is exactly what I needed…. Really well explained, will definitely put this to use at my next track day.

Not a racer. This hurt my brain a little. Well presented.
Great video! Very practical and easy to understand

Thanks for watching, glad this helped! Stay tuned for more videos on set up
Twist my knobs, please

Been needing this video ! Thanks so much jay !
Glad you found it helpful. Part 2 is coming soon !
Very cool video 😊

Every video this channel puts out is relevant for me 😂
Thank you for this insightful video! Learned something new today:)
Awesome! Defintely would love a guide/series from you talking about various aspects of racing (bonus that it's an M2)
kyle’s check in here 😂. i’m a kyle.

For best bang for buck, should I just get Ohlins for my brz? Or should I do kw cs 2way (3way too expensive…). Or should I just get some tein
More knobs= more better?
@@haojunliangcc always. I need knobs in my knobs.
then rent an engineer to listen to your feedback and implement changes while understanding the psychology of the driver.
Kyle. Lmao.
She twist on my knob til im damping
He said knob.😂
Detail
Weight doesn't transfer, load transfers.
Elaborate 👆🏼
Nothing moves from front to rear, left to to right. Just the amount of load on a given tire info the ground.
