ive always been told you run compression tight and extension loose,,, when starting off would you run in the middle of your adjustments or bias it one way or the other? how about compression 1/4 way between, bias toward being hard,, and ext in the middle?? or???



Many factors determine where to start. The lower HP applications should begin on the soft end of the range. Keeping in mind that we need to control the rear tire, I usually work the rebound first. Start out soft and keep feeding more rebound into the car watching to see when performance begins to drop off. Compression can be used to control down track "wander" or again to prevent the basketball effect just off the line. I haven't been one to simply say to start in the middle...It may take a few runs to determine how much is too much.
