I've been meaning to get around to writing a FAQ for the chassis and suspension tech fourm for a while. After finals I should be able to get it posted. Give me an idea of what you'd like to see.

Part choices? Product review? Theory (basic suspension dynamics)? Obviously having an impartial viewpoint would be necessary as people tend to get passionate about their way of doing things.

My main goal here is just to cut down on the same old questions as we continue grow and get new members.

How about a simple to the point listing of all the different parts, what they do, how they work and what effect it has on the car. From there then go into suspension alignment points and the effects those have on the car. Its hard to give a setup to someone and have that work for everyone. Since most of us are not all in the same class you have no idea what weight the car is at, what aero work is done if any at all, what wheels/tire sizes, and how the driver likes the car. Some people like really huge springs and bars, others do not. Doesn't mean one is right and the other is wrong.

To me it would be much more helpful to for someone to fix his/her own car if they said..well it came back off the track and it had a low speed push..from that they could look at the FAQ and go thru the different things that effect that on the car then they could make the choice as to what part they are able to change to fix or help the problem.

As Sam said...if you start putting up general starting points based off of someone it is going to be baised and then your going to run into fighting. If they had a basic layout for someone to say yeah...it did X and 1, 2, 3, or 4 effect that on the car and I can make changes to anyone of those to help the problem.

That make sence?
