Soft Vs Stiff Springs

Soft Vs Stiff Springs
Is it better for a suspension to have soft coil springs or stiff springs? The purpose of a suspension is to keep your tires on the ground. A softer suspension will offer more mechanical grip as it will do a better job of keeping the tires on the ground vs a stiff suspension when it comes to depressions, bumps, and surface irregularities in the road. But then why do race cars have such stiff suspensions?

This, in turn, increases the handling capability of a car as well. Therefore, luxury cars prefer to have a soft suspension, because comfort matters more than handling for a perfectly smooth ride.

I love how the brake lines are zip-tied to the axle.

But then why do race cars have such stiff suspensions?
because racetracks are almost completely flat.

Shoutout to the cameraman who literally ran as fast as that truck was driving and kept the camera 100% steady. Seriously it is unhuman??

Makes no sense, in this case not spring stiffness matters, but suspension links geometry. Read about antisquat and compare angles of lines based on links rotation points to angle of basket ball hitting the ground and consider its force components

What is wrong with your brake pressure distribution? You are gonna get bold spots on your rear tires this way.

That's all fine until one of the trac bars breaks, but looks good anyway.

Что за тарантайка? База узкая и длинная. Какая-то рикша индийская или корейская?
