Ride & Roll Resistance Spring

Too much spring: overall
■ Harsh and choppy ride
■ Much unprovoked sliding
■ Car will not put power down on corner exit - excessive wheel-spin

Relatively too much spring: front
■ Understeer - although the car may initially point in well
■ Front breaks loose over bumps in corners
■ Front tyres lock while braking over bumps

Relatively too much spring: rear
■ Oversteer immediately on application of power
■ Excessive wheel-spin

Too little spring: overall
■ Car contacts the track a lot
■ Floating ride with excess vertical chassis movement, pitch and roll
■ Sloppy and inconsistent response
■ Car slow to take a set � may take more than one

Relatively too little spring: rear
■ Excessive squat on acceleration accompanied by excessive rear negative camber, leading to oversteer and poor power down characteristics
■ Tendency to fall over on outside rear tyre and "flop" into oversteer and wheel-spin
