Haha yea evasive is who told me they had a set but I had to sell mine first. It's all good though. Enjoy them for me

 

...then, once you've spun a few times, think about what happens when you lift off of the gas -- the nose dives, the back end lifts, and then it comes around. Softening rear rebound allows the back end to lift more, and thus allow more lift-throttle oversteer. The correct adjustment to reduce lift-throttle oversteer is to *stiffen* rear rebound damping.

Interesting, wouldn't less rear rebound apply a lower amount of upward force? Thus making the forward weight transfer slower? I am still new to this whole shock tuning thing so I apologize in advance for my ignorance in the subject.

It was my understanding that in this situation the weight transfer would be controlled by front compression and rear rebound. Is that right and then my understanding of rebound is wrong?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

 

Less rebound allows the spring to expand faster and push the weight to the front.

Remember, rebound is a resistance to force, not a force generator.

 

I just registered for the blytheville race.

 

They are called dampers because you are damping what the spring wants to do. So when you lift throttle, the weight of car shifts forward, off the rear springs, which want to return back up to full length. Stiffening the rebound of the rear dampers will further dampen the springs' desire to spring back to full length, helping to slow down the weight transfer that lightens the back end so much and leaves it wanting to come around.

 

Careful using words like that in this thread...

 

thx

 

Yeah, I think for some reason when I was thinking about this last week I kept thinking about rebound as a force and thus the force's effect on handling as opposed to the resistance slowing the force.

Thanks for the quick advice everyone, hopefully this clears up the issue for anyone else who gets confused down the line.
