We all take joy when the car find ourselves in a hole and give us coffee or our teeth chattering mouth. If I do until everything is opposite! However, there are some who equip their car with sports suspension. Why we make the car more rigid and lowered?
The first option of every addict. Why sport springs? There are several reasons.
The first and most obvious, including video, is Lowered to your car. A lowered ride height automatically mean a harder spring, because the car is not lowered suspension is accepting the same race. It should be decreased by the closing. On the opening, it must be preserved, maintaining the race silencer series.
Mounting sport springs provide improved roadholding default. It has two sources: lower center of gravity of car body tilt on cornering and shrink (body-roll), and start braking.
Sport shocks enter the scene in those who do not want a car just look down, but a ride to match its looks.
Why we need sports shocks?
A series damper has a certain race. Suppose we acquire a spring sport down by 40 mm. From the beginning of the series damper down the final point of operation by 40 mm. Acceptable, given that race still has loading situations, bumps, special dynamic conditions. Same arc, must quickly compensate and race silencer without opening it emerges, giving rise to sound annoying, but the possibility of salt in position.
This means that the arc must have been enough to offset lungimer damper opening. So is a compromise. However, there are cases when the damper of the series, with one race too long, reaches end (bottom out) and can destroy.
Sport silencer allows us to give up this compromise. Race may be shortened and automatic damper spring may be shorter. A short arc means less resonance introduced in this compression / relaxation repeated fast. A mass damper is not always face a tougher spring. Sport dampers are usually tougher and have longer life than a series damper if they are supplemented by a spring sport.
Adjustable suspensions are best suited to a leading sports / sports application (racing). By changing the spring and damper and strengthen both the level of performance is achieved over that of a sports spring kit sports silencer. Arch is much smaller in diameter than a sports silencer series, does not induce almost no resonance, so only the damper filtering normal suspension travel. Usually damper rod is much thicker in diameter, making the front shocks with brio in a very aggressive driving. Most come with adjustable suspension dampers adjustable in hardness.
If you purchased such a suspension would be good to check with a person able to show you the recommended hardness level. It is very possible to screw the car ride damper making too hard or too soft.
May all adjustable suspension adjusts ride height of arch support (its pan), which makes suspension a bit hard to adjust, because once it move and compress spring / decompress (adjustable suspension cases only one arc).
There are suspensions in which the adjustment is moving the entire damper spring up and down, pan from being on pretensions arc (hardening) spring. In this way paote choose a softer spring suspension, which may strengthen the need ground clearance of the car can remain the same.
These suspensions are mainly used in racing cars, the springs are usually very hard and with limited suspension travel from 10 to 12 cm. Adjusting damper has a very wide beach.
In these suspensions adjustable compensating can add (those external tanks) to adjust both their opening and closing (bound / rebound). In this case, the damper is adjusted to its closure of compensating open air.
Let's see how little theory synthesizes the damper and springs:
- A hard spring to shake;
- A strong spring will greatly reduce body-roll;
- A strong spring will shrink during the rebound damper;
- A soft spring will not blow the car bumps;
- A soft spring increase braking distances;
- A telescope must be harder than the climb descent;
- A telescope hard on lowering the car to have trouble determining grip (traction / direction) on a bumpy road;
- A heavily lowered car will require a readjustment of the wheel angles.
And all without to take into account the hundreds of possibilities for adjustment (set up) the suspension vehicle depending on need, application, driving style and many other variables. That their usefulness is proven and approved, this is clear. But any change to the suspension at least Erste well to consult a professional to make a recommendation for your own needs. What works on one machine does not necessarily give the same result and the next. With a little care and a moderate investment can dramatically improve the way the car is in drive and rectioneaza situations.
