When acceleration the front dampers will extend and the rear dampers will compress.
When braking the front dampers will compress and the rear dampers will extend.
Dampers
Front Extension
- Higher Numbers = Stops the weight from shifting off of the front tyres immediately / keeps weight over the front tyres for longer when accelerating, good for FF cars / reduces understeer during corner exit
- Lower Numbers = Allows the weight to shift off of the front tyres more quickly / makes it easier for weight to shift to the rear more quickly. / reduces oversteer during corner exit
Rear Extension
- Higher Numbers = Stops the weight from shifting off of the rear tyres immediately / keeps weight over the rear tyres for longer, good for rwd cars / reduces oversteer during cornering
- Lower Numbers = Allows the weight to shift off of the rear tyres more easily / makes it easier for weight to shift to the front when decelerating / more likely to oversteer during corner entry
Front Compression
- Higher Numbers = Harder for weight to shift onto the front tyres / good for RWD cars or to reduce oversteer/increase understeer
- Lower Numbers = Easier for weight to shift onto the front tyres / good for FWD cars or to increase overseer/ruduce understeer
Rear Compression
- Higher Numbers = Harder for weight to shift onto the rear tyres / good for FF cars or to reduce understeer/increase oversteer
- Lower Numbers = Easier for weight to shift onto the rear tyres / good for RWD cars or to reduce oversteer/increase understeer
