Setting up car suspension

[GB.]

Over the years I have set many bikes suspension up with good success, now on a car it would seem very difficult to measure static sag etc,so were do you start. I have some very trick shocks being built for me with ride height,rebound,preload and compression adjustment avaliable to play with so I`m all ears...

Theres so many variables , your just going to have to find out for yourself over time what works well ..

but there must be a start point or guideline to begin with,on bikes you start with ride height, preload(static sag then loaded sag)then rebound then finally compression,so I presume you would do the same with a car,but I`ve heard of something callled corner weights what is that?

I believe corner weighing is were you try to distribute the weight evenly over all four corners of the car, so you have perfect weight distribution. And all the suspension is evenly loaded. Probably wrong.(

that sounds feasible

And since I was going to write all about corner weighting here, I might as well make a new thread on that right now. You'll see it.
