What are 4 Way coilovers?
What are 4 Way coilovers?
The 4-Way adjustable coilover is the ultimate in adjustability for modern drag racers. Featuring high and low speed compression and rebound adjustment for maximum tire control, the 4-Way adjustable coilover is an industry first and is sure to be a game changer.
Are coilovers good for drag racing?
Yes, they will help, as long as they are adjusted accordingly before racing. On their regular (not drag race specific) Coilovers, Pfadt recommends a very soft setting.
How do you adjust Strange double adjustable shocks?
Strange shocks are assembled, inspected and remain at softest setting. Adjust the knob gently by hand and never force the knob beyond the eight settings. Turning knob clockwise will increase (stiffen) compression forces. Turning knob counter-clockwise will decrease (soften) compression forces.
Do you want stiff suspension for drag racing?
When you need to hit the track hard with the tire you’ll want to have the rebound on a softer setting, while a stiff setting will slow the shock rebound down so you’ll hit the tire softer.
How do you get more traction in drag racing?
Spin the tires just long enough for them to generate steady, even plumes of smoke, and then move on. This technique helps get the most life and traction from your expensive drag slicks. Remember to rotate your slicks weekly. Not everyone drag races on slicks.
How does a double adjustable shock work?
The double-adjustable shocks allow you to make separate adjustments to the compression and rebound properties of the shock absorber with two adjustment knobs. Each knob has 18 adjustments that work independently of each other, to help dial in the handling even more.
Are adjustable shocks worth it?
Double-Adjustable Shocks are an Investment Worth Making Ultimately you’ll need to get out on the track and make adjustments incrementally for the best result, which double-adjustable shocks work perfectly for. If you want faster lap times, you’ll need to control all variables, including your shocks.
Are adjustable shocks better?
Think of stiffer shocks as temporarily stiffening up your springs when you need it the most; we know that stiffer springs will allow a car to handle better, and the advantage of an adjustable shock is that one can adjust the shock to provide a little more stiffness to the suspension.
What’s better shocks or coilovers?
The Performance characteristics of the damper and spring are matched to provide maximum performance and unlike lowering springs, coilovers offer a much greater range of adjustability including ride height, spring pre-load, shock damping and rebound.
What happens if suspension is too soft?
1) SOFT SUSPENSION USUALLY RESULTS IN POOR HANDLING. A softly sprung car will tend to lean and roll more, especially if the driver takes higher cornering speeds. As a result, the entire vehicle feels like it is “wallowing” and unresponsive.
Should I turn off traction control when drag racing?
Turning off the traction control on your car while racing can definitely help you to drive faster and bring you lap times down by a considerable amount. However, it does require a large amount of skill in order to keep your car on the track.
What is a good 60 foot time in drag racing?
around 2 seconds
Most street-tired cars have 60 foot times around 2 seconds. The 660 foot mark is the halfway point of a quarter-mile track.
What’s better springs or coilovers?
Lowering springs are a cheaper and easier way to lower your car’s center of gravity and improve its handling. Coilovers, on the other hand, can lower the car and make it handle much better with more adjustability.
