Default Handy Suspension Set Up Guide

Browsing around the internet I came across the following PDF file. This guide is posted on David Farmer's web site (davidfarmerstuff.com). He is a well known figure in the Corvette racing world. Interesting stuff, wish I had it printed out and available at some of the track days.

Well I'm still smarting from the humiliation of how much faster you do your pad/rotor swaps than I do, but this little tip makes up for it.

Thanks for the link, this should help me think through what's happening on track day.

Best,

that's awesome. It should have it's own sticky in the handling section.

Great reference! I printed it and it's going in my track notebook.

Ditto for me.

Next season I need to spend more time tinkering with the settings on track days instead of just having so much fun driving it
