These cars are perfection I can both understand why people don't want to tune like this anymore, but at the same time I'm sad about how it's not as popular as it once was. Massive amount of respect for the discipline this style of racing takes.
Agreed, this is my favorite on-road class, I just now got a touring car and not perfectly set up just in front of the house to test the gear ratio it handles perfectly fine. With pan-car if it's not 100% it makes sure you know it! that includes track conditions- I've only run asphalt, the pucker factor is real going from a straight to a sweeper if the track wasn't well prepped that day.
@ Russel Hamilton, I use the Associated lower arms and some IRS Suspension balls in these arms. NP! @1972adrianm. The amount of front droop depends on the grip level. The more front droop you have, the more chassis roll the car will have and the more weight is being transferred. Less front droop, the less weight is being transferred. When you want a car that feels 'direct' decrease the amount of front droop, if you need more front grip, increase the amount of front droop. NP!
@oladelebolden The shock isn't inverted. I placed it this way, cause it fits better with the battery and the wires. A lot of On-Point drivers (almost all I know) have it this way. It is a Hotbodies Shock. For the droop you are correct. Make sure the car sits on its race ready ride height. Measure that, then fully extend the rear pod up travel (maximum shock length) and measure again. This value is your rear droop value.
I sometimes use a little more tension on side springs if there is too much grip to make the chassis more solid/hard. Is this bad idea? Thank you very much for your comments, I like this 3rd video :)
Is that the IRS center shock and it looks like you have it mounted inverted, why and how did you do it? Also to measure droop I just raise the rear pod and the distance between that and it's normal position is the droop measurement?

Great educational and intuitive video's with great English speaking young man thanks

Nice work, thanks for sharing your knowledge and preparation.
Awesome video. I really hope you do more.
Thanks for sharing, very helpful info
Can you comment on front droop? When to run it and when not to? How much is good or too much?
Great Videos, Thanks!
Thanks for the series a great help

What brand lower arm pivot balls do you use? And thanks for the vids!!
Does setting side spring tension affect ride height/ droop?
Hey J S , No it does not. Only the centerspring tension affect's the droop and ride height

Bonjour, si vous avez une traduction en Français, ça m’intéresse énormément ! Mais c’est un peu fantomatique .
