I'd suggest you pick up these: Carroll Smith's "Prepare To Win" And "Tune to Win" They were published in the mid 1970's but still have the info you're looking for. Shocks have come a long ways since then but the principles are still the same. Carroll also wrote "Engineer to Win" & "Drive To Win" Reading these,numerious times, will give you an understanding of how all the components work in a system. The questions you're asking here, while good, are about individual components and their effects. You really need to understand the whole suspension system first. Almost everything that's adjustable on the system will be affected by the other components. "Bump" adjustment is and isn't about control over bumps. It has to be used with the other components. And changing bump adjustment can be done for both high speed and low speed shaft travel. That's where you get into the valving, shim stacks,etc. The main thing you try to do is maintain the tire contact patch and keep the slip angle reasonable. |
