Suspension tuning guide

Hi All,

Been searching around and haven't come up with what I'm looking for - a quick reference guide (online) for suspension tuning that I can refer to in a hurry as a refresher.

It can be set up either by Problem-->Solution, What you want the car to do-->what to change, or Adjustment-->what it will do to handling.

Specifically it should include rebound, compression, spring rates, bars, tire pressure, etc. . .

If you can point me in the right direction it will be much appreciated!

I can point to books, but not a quick reference online or elsewhere on EvoM.

Thanks. I've got a Carrol Smith quick reference, but haven't been able to find anything on line.

This might be rudimentary, but it has been cut/copied, pasted, and used by several other websites...

I also found this flash animation on BF Goodrich's site to be funny...

I took the info from the above site and re-wrote some of it, keeping only what I thought was the most pertinent info. It can be printed off and kept as a quick-reference while at the track. See attachment.

Please let me know if I should add anything or if I got anything wrong. Thanks!

I have that. Thanks. Something like that would be great that is set up for double-adjustable shocks, and that also takes into account sway bars, spring rates, etc. . .
