Rear Suspension Geometry

Rear Suspension Wow, field testing the new Rear Suspension Geometry (RSG) software was exciting! Immediately, we noticed we had more fun, less confusion and greater control.

Not only was the chassis set-up and tuning more enjoyable for us, it must have been obvious to outsiders. Suddenly, other people wanted to see what we were doing!

More Fun
The thrill of competitively passing another racer is what we all try to achieve. If your race car is handling poorly then typically the other guy is the one having fun.

It is very frustrating to qualify poorly and/or run at the back of the pack and worse yet is doing it week after week.

Refuse to lose and start having fun. The Rear Suspension Geometry software is fun to use and your racing will be more fun, too!

Less Confusion
Race cars are confusing enough all by themselves. Sometimes they do what you expect and sometimes they do the opposite.

What you don't want is more confusion by having a complicated computer program. What you do want is simple help to reduce the confusion of race cars.

The new Rear Suspension Geometry software uses clear, and easy to understand, photos for entering suspension measurements.

Photos in the software cover conventional 3 link and 4 link suspensions. The four link option also allows bird cages on one or both sides of the axle. Sorry, the RSG software will not work with a stock style four link.

The photos in the Rear Suspension Geometry might even spark a new thought on suspension adjustments. For example, have you ever thought of angling the trailing rods inward or outward from the chassis centerline?

Besides easy input, the RSG analysis is easy to understand, too. The software provides output data in a spreadsheet format or graphs, or better yet, in animated models based on your car's measurements (see below). You can even move the animated suspension through its travel by clicking on the screen or with the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Greater Control
Its very easy for somebody to say "If you move this Heim joint from A to B the suspension will do such-and-such." But, do they really know for sure?

For example: Somebody might say "Panhard bar rake (slope) makes the axle steer to the left when the car is in the corners." However, depending on your suspension configuration, it could do the opposite, making you car hard to control.

With the Rear Suspension Geometry software you will know positively what is happening to your suspension, giving you control in the garage and on the track.

In the RSG software you can move the trailing rods up and down or in and out (see below). You can also change the Panhard bar (track bar) height & angle. And to make it better yet, you can quickly change the shock travel and see the results from any or all of these set-up adjustments.

With the Rear Suspension Geometry software, you can control the results of chassis set-up changes at the track because you will know how much the axle steers, the pinion angle changes, the axle moves left to right, and more!

Best of all, you will have this info for chassis squat & lift, one wheel bumps and body roll, just by entering shock travel.

And to give you more control yet, the instruction booklet is packed full of useful tips on how to use this data!
