Would anyone mind explaining to me how double-adjustable dampers work, and how do independent changes in rebound and compression affect how the tires physically maintain/lose traction with the ground when cornering? How is the optimum roadholding setting acheived by independent adjustments?

Thanks in advance

 

imo there's not really any such thing as "optimum road holding" to achieve.

just different types of road holding
you can make your car loose, stiff, comfy, bouncy, pushing, give it different setups for different tracks, different road conditions, etc etc etc...

... etc..

 

Ok, optimum road holding for autocrossing

 

I sent you an IM. When we talk dampers on the phone I can explain what bump and rebound each do and what to look for when tuning each.

Hey, can I get in on this, too; you can never learn too much...&lt;grin&gt;
