split adjusters

Post by helowrench »

What do you guys think about taking a stock frt beam and instead of cutting it and installing a single adjuster on the top and a single adjuster on the bottom................
Install two adjusters on the bottom a la formula vee (IIRC) allowing you to both set the ride height and corner weighting.

I am wondering if this would be good in conjunction with doing the same in the rear beam to allow for maximum tuning of the suspension settings.

That's a circle track trick. Rig them up on all-thread & you can "dile-a-wedge." I don't know about the corner weighting.

Now, what if we rig them up to the steering where when you turn right, it pushes the right tire up & the left one down? Turn left, opposite.

The split adjusters would give you the same effect as adjusting threaded coil-overs. you could set each side independently from each other.


Now what you are thinking about is actually an active (mechanical linkage) suspension set-up. I am sure that it could be done, but I do not even want to consider what class that would shove you into. :shock:
