How to corner weight a car and why you SHOULD!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we take you through the corner weighting process of this iconic car. This Lister Bell STR Lancia Stratos Replica is brand new and so needs a full corner weight and alignment. In this video we show you what corner weighting is and why it is important.

    I'm really enjoying these more detailed technical videos recently, thank you for sharing the knowledge!! I'd love to know a bit more about how rake affects balance, specifically in the MINI F56.

    Thanks very much for the comment! Yes no problem at all we can certainly cover rake angle and it’s effects in some future videos 👍

    Hey there! Great information on this topic. I am curious to know what individual ride heights did you change in each corner to achieve these final mass values? I know you raised the front left but what changes did you make to each of the other three corners in ride heights? Thank you!

    Great stuff - really interesting! Would you be able to do a video on setup after static adjustments? So setting up bump and droop adjustment, arb adjustment, the order etc.

    * While still maintaining the ride heights close enough at each corner?

    Great explainer video. On coilovers with separate ride height and spring preload adjustment, should we be changing spring preload rather than ride height?

    hi Matt, great video as ever. On braking, would some of the weight on the rear not come forward so the imbalance at the rear could end up having a negative impact on braking as well?

  • @Mark-tm3df

    or in other words, the imbalance at the rear pulls the centre of gravity to one side so would impact braking as mass will act through the CoG?

    Thanks for the comment 👍 yes it would transfer slightly but the whole imbalance wouldn’t travel. This is where we talk about making the compromises as we always have to make an informed choice over which numbers and differences to prioritise to get the best from that particular car we are working on. It is always a fine balance 👍

    I always wondered, I live in a zona where streets are quite harsh and not the best quality. Is it worth to corner balance / do a geometry alinment in my car if I keep hiting a pothole here and There?

  • @SuspensionSecrets

    Yes it is definitely worth doing as the corner weighting is set by altering and settings differences in ride heights. These will keep the corner weighting settings to a degree even after going over a few potholes. It’s not ideal for the car to keep going through potholes but you will still benefit from the grip improvements 👍

    @@SuspensionSecretsThanks for the quick response and great content aswell! Here in Portugal sadly the roads are quite degraded, so potholes are not even and there are a lot of fissures on the road. I try to keep on the safe side always and go slow, but sometimes it's impossible. Any feedback on D2 Racing Street Coilovers? Only good brand that has coilovers for my car with TUV apart from KW(V1) on the same range

    wait a second, your corner weight formula is not correct. at 6:05 (FL+RR)/(FR+RL) gives you actually 94.2%, you can achive 51.2% as shown on whiteboard like that: (LF+RL)/total_mass.
