[QUOTE="tptp, post: 1002287, member: 62984"] Think of this. If you put more weight on the front than on the rear while measuring the race sag, then you are out of the ballpark. I put maybe to much on the front compared with what you do? I use .42 springs from K-tech. They are longer than stock, so I had to make the spacer shorter to get my preload at 15mm (or was it 10mm?). Now we have a lot of uncertain fact that affect the suspension a lot... I learned, first get race sag right, then static sag (free "sag" = 0, or no sag, it is when the suspension is fully expanded), static sag shows if you need other springs. After that you will set up: Rear rebound to prevent kicking and packing. Rear compresion to prevent bottoming more than once at "worst section" at the track. Front rebound slower if cornering is hard, or faster if cornering is to easy. Front compression harder until it will be unstable to make smaller changes of direction at high speed, and more oil to prevent bottoming in the worst (nicest?) jumps. Then play with fork hight in tripple clamps to fine tune steering angel and wheelbase to fine tune stability. And this is just a part of it...but it is what I learned to be in the teoretical ballpark. I do not know if I am quite right and please comment this - I´m in this to learn more :-) [/QUOTE]
