[quote][i]Originally posted by AK[/i] adding a rear ARB will also help turn in (reduce understeer) but increase rear twitchyness. [quote] would of thought a softer front end but with a higher spring rate to keep the wheels down onto the track would be better? [/quote] a higher spring rate would make it a stiffer front end. If you soften off the dampning on a stiffer spring the car will just skip about. You need decent amounts of dampning to allow the car to lean onto the tyres gradually, but you also need quick enough rebound to keep the tyre in contact with the ground on bumps. Its always a bit of a compromise on 1way adjustable dampers..... even 2way! You dont need high spring rates to push the wheels back down. Gravity helps out even the softest sprung suspension. On 1way adjustable suspension if you increase it the rebound gets slower (wheels hang in the air longer). 2 way you can adjust compression and rebound - so the car car lean slowly into high speed corners for stability but have slightly quicker rebound to help keep wheels on the ground. 3way you have hi speed rebound and lo speed - (kerbs etc = high speed).
