    This Part 2 video covers the front end to ensure the rear is helped as much as possible to stay planted. There are a TON of nuggets included here so re-watch it several times to let it make sense.. Many videos will follow over the next couple of weeks discussing rear suspension setup, static and dynamic corner weights, weight bias, power management, and more.

    Man I love your teaching skills and humilty. 38:15 to 38:40 was the neeedle in the hay stack I was looking for in the last couple days . Thank you Sir.
    I have a 2011 2ss Camaro that gets alot of attention at the gas station and any parking lot or sometimes a red light . In saying that I have had family and friends draw me to the track in it for some friendly grudge racing , moslty lol .
    I spent money on hp and knew in my knower I shoulda started with the foundation [suspension}, but I traded that for the rush of power and a thumbs up here and there.
    But now my 3k dollar wheels and tires have been some what compomised after installing metal cradle bushings , rear trailing trailing arms ,rear toe rods ....the toe rods mentioned are non adjustable and I think there in lies the problem that ruined the inner rear portion of the rear tires in a very short time .
    back right tire was from inner to middle and outer width measurement a depth of 1/32 -3/32- 5/32
    fronts are still 9/32 across the board being pretty new .
    up front I have issues as well , broken front sway bar link on the left drivers side , ...sway bar link is bent on the right passengers and a bad left front stut . car pulls to the left on a dig and now I know why . this damage is recent .
    could a busted motor mount cause the damage up front ?
    I know the back has to be in the toe for the rear tire damage . sheesh lol !
    Bless you and your dad bro!

    Kevin - thanks for the assist on my Monza. I used the "Square Chassis" video information and feel confident that I have the rear squared in the car now. It was out of whack a lot more than I would have thought having used a triangulation method before. People do what Kevin says - and don't go off your front spindles to set the rear.

    Adding a front ride height sensor is CRITICAL in analyzing & maximizing 60' performance. It's one of the most important sensors you can put on your car combined with front shock/strut travel sensors. What he said about outbound travel time is key.

    I agree, I think I’d spend more into shocks that anything. What good is hp if you can’t put it down. One other thing is shock velocity changes with power management as well, I don’t think you mentioned that. I’d like to see your input on this also. Awesome video.

    • @AustinBoil
      @AustinBoil 3 года назад

      If you understand shock dyno graphs, you will see exactly where velocity comes into play in conjunction with velocity data channels in your data logger.

    One thing I try to relay to the owner of the car is to try and get their front end not be at max lift until their ramp of their power adder is all the way in. All movements as smoothe as possible so the vehicle doesnt get upset.

    "cheapest shocks I can get"
    I can tell you from personal experience, the single BIGGEST change I ever made was going from a three way adjustable, to a viking double adjustable shock. It was a night and day difference and worth EVERY penny.

    I already know the answer…lol, but; would you say that a Strange single all around would be at least workable on a street combo? Clearly a double is going to be better being that you’re not adjusting both “settings” at once, but didn’t know if you’d be pissing in your own face with a set of singles.
