Trying to figure out what the difference would be to setting the front Koni's softer than the rears??


I know the front wheel drives have a tendency to push out of corners, so how would one necessarily set the shocks for the ideal handeling in the CL??

Just curious

Bigger roll bar in the back will make for more oversteer.

Making the shocks tighter in the rear will have the same effect.


Here is a link to something that will probably help you out:

The shocks are not listed, but you will find springs and sway bars listed. When you go for stiffer rear springs or sway bars, you reduce understeer.

They didn't list it, but the same goes for the shocks. The shocks only work during "transient" conditions, so if you are in a steady-state condition (like a long sweeping curve with no bumps), they tend to have little or no influence on handling!
