Is it better to have the shocks tight or loose on a good sticky track.............and BTW , I would think the car would work well on a sticky track with tight shock settings...........so if its "basket balling , shaking , bouncing" whatever you call it........how's the track? Bite or biteless?
Ladder bars , mono leafs.
9.30s@143...... 377 5 speed.
A tight track to the point your shaking", you"ll wanna loosen the damping on rebound and tighten the compression as a general rule of thumb. Opposite for a loose track, in order to keep the back of the car down so to speak.
