Tuning Adjustable Shock Absorbers

Shocks (AKA shock absorbers or dampers) are the most useful tool for adjusting corner entry and corner exit handling characteristics of a street car. They are easily accessible on most cars, and aftermarket shocks are usually adjustable in many ways. Shocks are necessary to dampen, or gradually reduce, the bouncing of the springs on the car. Without them, the suspension would oscillate up and down for an extended period of time after running over a bump or experiencing weight transfer.

There are two settings that determine the way a damper behaves: compression and rebound. Compression is the shock’s resistance to being pushed in, and rebound is the shocks resistance to being extended. When the car accelerates, weight is transferred to the rear, which results in the front wheels trying to lift off the ground and the rear wheels pushing harder into the ground. The front shocks are being extended while the rear shocks are getting compressed. Hence, during acceleration, the car is mainly affected by front rebound and rear compression. The opposite is true for deceleration. During deceleration, handling is affected by front compression and rear rebound.

Performance Car Tuning

Performance tuning is the tuning of an engine to increase the power output, torque, and responsiveness of the engine as well as the reliability and economy. To performance tune the engine, it must be strong enough to endure the extra power, sometimes far stronger than the standard engine. Also when Performance Tuning the car you must take into account the transmission, suspension and the brakes to make sure that these match the power output and torque of the engine as this will affect the overall performance of the car and make it more reliable and competitive. Most people want to increase the power output of an engine. The main way that is used to do this is to increase the rate and efficiency of combustion in an engine. This is achieved by putting more fuel/air mixture into the engine, using a fuel with higher energy content, burning it more rapidly, and getting rid of the waste products more rapidly – this increases volumetric efficiency. The specific ways this is done include:
