Springs
Hey again...
I have a question about springs...
Right now i'm riding a hard spring in the front and a much softer spring in the rear of the car. Most of the people at my track has pretty soft springs both front and rear, the hardest ind the front. We are driving on a carpet track with no standard setup, we lay out the track everytime. My question is, what is best.
Hard springs that bring the wheels back to the carpet fast after a smal bump or the soft ones wich will probably absorbe most of the small bumps but, i suppose, will have problems with the curbes and stuff???
Is my assumptions all wrong or what???
Best regards

RE: Springs
Think of it like this.. the harder the spring, the more the car will push in a corner and the less the car will dip down going in. A softer spring will let the car dip going in and help "tighten" the car up. too hard, the car might not want to turn. too soft, car might turn too much.
