Adjusting Bound and Rebound

[LvisDin]

I know cars but not that well as most here. I know that pre-built coilovers adjust the bound and rebound as the same. Most prefer custom built coilovers. I was thinking what companies offer these kind of dampers? Konis? Also how would I like to set up my bound and reboud?

Its called compression and rebound damping adjustment.....the truth be know most those adjustment knobs cause more trubble than they fix as they are not very precise. If you take your basic adjustable damper and put it on a shock dyno( a tool for reading damping of shocks), the amount of damping each knob changes can be very different.....this means to "match" the rebound for a set of say megan's, you may have to turn one knob out 4 clicks and the other 10 clicks and the only way to see this is on a shock dyno.

Also until you get into the very, very high end race stuff you won't find much that has seperate adjustments. The good street/track stuff will have a single adjustment usually for rebound only. I don't know of anything that has seperate compression and rebound adjustments until you get into the really good stuff like Moton, and for that you are going to be paying $1k per wheel or so.

Damn intense. Does anyone happen to know the spring rates of the Tanabe Type 2 coilovers? I checked on the spring/drop rate and I found nothing.

Front 6.0kg/mm
Rear 8.0kg/mm

Soo after converting it, i got this

My H&Rs are about the same. Maybe I should upgrade my Tokico HP to Dspecs.

it may be an improvement.. it may not, only thing for certain is that you'll have a little knob to mess with.

What are you trying to tune for?

Ok, And what were you looking to get out of moving from HP's to D-specs? I mean are the Hp's not able to deal with your H&R springs, or were you just looking for something stiffer?

And how is the car actually handling right now?

Honestly. I forgot. I havent mountain raced over a year because my car is back in NorCal in the garage. Last time I remembered it handled fine on one road, but the other road is a little more rockier and my rear was slipping so I kinda want to be able to adjust with both mountains. Also I need an alignment. When my dad took it to get align it was on factory specs . But I'll see how it goes in the sumer when I actually get to take it to the mountains.

I remember I understeered a few times but my tires werent warmed up. My rear comes in fine, but its my front. Maybe a little more stiffer in rear.

Anyone know the spring rates on Buddy Club N+? Is it the same as the race spec?

Softening the nose may be the better option here. Whats your alignment look like?

Stock When I get an alignment I plan to go reverse stock settings and go from there.
