ZALES TO Mustang Double Adjustable Steel Coil over Struts Ni Xf BOIB amp Aluminum Adjustable Shocks NOTES The front suspension of a drag race vehicle is tuned accordingly to rear tire reaction When at the track the sidewall of the rear tire and clearance between tire and fender should be observed A rapid weight transfer that generally causes the vehicle rear to bounce will be evident by a sudden decrease in the tire and fender clearance as well as a sudden decrease in tire sidewall height A slow weight transfer will generally cause tire spin and will be evident by the tire sidewall and fender to wheel clearance not decreasing significantly Refer to notes on pg 7 for further information Understanding these basic principles will promote a better response to tune vehicle dynamics and suspension for superior car performance STRUT EXTENSION ADJUSTMENT e and 7 16 wrenches are used to adjust extension e Hex is located at the top of the piston rod e Full clockwise is the softest position e Full counter clockwise is the firmest position e 3 total turns of adjustment STRUT COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT e Hex is located at the bottom of strut body e Full clockwise is the firmest position e Full counter clockwise is the softest position e 12 clicks e 13 total settings FRONT EXTENSION DAMPENING Application Adjustment Drag Race 0 5 1 0 turns Street 1 25 1 5 turns Road Race 2 0 2 5 turns FR

12. the front extension dampening adjustment can be decreased or a softer spring rate can be used For the vehicle to take full advantage of weight transfer a stiff rear spring will resist compression and maintain traction However a spring rate which is too stiff and does not compress will transfer the weight to the tire sidewall which will eventually unload and cause uncontrollable driving conditions The end goal with all combinations of front and rear shock settings along with spring rates is to be able to plant the tires for maximum grip by increasing the footprint However increasing the footprint decreases the total diameter of the tire there fore traveling a shorter distance in a single rotation Also note that a taller and longer tire foot print is preferable compared to merely a wide foot print Track experience and careful documentation will result in the best combinations of strut and shock adjustment and springs INO hy 2OTB DF PF Camber Camber Front Spring Rate Tok Toe Front Spring Length Rear Spring Rate Caster Caster DR PR Rear Spring Length a camber _________ _ Ride Height Toe ee Toe Notes Caster _ _ _ Caster Mustang Double Adjustable Steel Coil over Struts amp Aluminum Adjustable Shocks Strut amp Shock Dyno Graphs The following graphs show the average resistance of the shock extension and compression forces as velocity increa
