				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. |

				This is about to become the "mother of all FAQ's" at this rate. We may be better to break it down to cover springs, their job, (avoid bottoming out and some contribution to roll stiffness, etc), sway bars (limit roll, etc), shocks (damp springs, rebound affects roll rate, not total roll, etc), LCA's/poly bushings (bind, etc), and do a series. Otherwise, we'll wind up with a line by line of the Solo rule book and a 500 page document. And, the HPDE/road race guys could mostly care less (ok, extreme point) about the Solo II rules, we may want to consider something like that for the autocross forum, a specific rundown with more detailed information. We could possibly write up "works in progress" and (sticky them for discussion) discuss and make changes (hopefully without any serious arguements) and then finalize some stickies.  Good idea? If anyone wants to take a category (if this seems like a good approach), I'm sure we can use some help. I'm trying to decide which one I can speak intellegently about. |
