Coilover Damper Setting for Drag and Track Setup

[3r1k]

Would the damper setting be different if I go to track or drag?

If it's different , discuss

[Howie]

For drag racing, i think for our fwd cars u want to stop the front from lifting up on acceleration so you'd set up your rear springs/damper to be as stiff as possible.

can a fwd car lift the head ??

[Noel]

Regardless of drivetrain, the "head" of the car will generally lift upwards at acceleration unless heavy modifications are in place to "reduce" this effect. FF is no different vs. RR drivetains.

hence FWD drag cars having rear wheelie bars...

What damper setting should the front coilovers be for drags ?

[tinkerbell]

experimentation woudl eb required IMO...

the beauty of drags is that it is almost identical conditions each time, so very easy to see results of 'tuning' of both engine or suspension...

buit stiffer is what i found best for me...
