Default Looking for some knowledge...

I know little about suspensions and I want to learn more. I am sure that the members who frequent this forum have all kinds of on line resources at their disposal. I was hoping to get them recorded in this thread for my reference as well as for other members out there. Links that you may have do not have to Honda specific but it never hurts!

Thanks a lot.

Try these.

Calculations!

More Calculations! Although this one is slightly different than the Sway-away website in their formulas... gotta be careful with info on the net. Why learn these things? It was useful for us in figuring out why we (and others) offer the common spring-rate combos that we do. Why 8/6, and not 10/4? Why not 8.5/7.2? There has to be some basic starting point in determing proper spring rates, this is where we chose to start.

One of the first sites I visited, after getting thoroughly confused in the "Official Shock Dyno" thread.

I like how Eibach was willing to document this entire process and share it with us, this is a nice little walkthrough. Apparently Paul Haney knows a little bit about suspension

Honestly do a search for tyson and read his posts, also do a search for scott i think his name is RR98ITR. Search in the AX/RR forum, most of the stuff in suspension is crap, not all but most.
