i completly understand what u are saying guys,

Whitesedan,
yes adjusting the coilovers stightly or having a slightly harder spring on the drivers side will work for the street.... BUT how do u tune a car with 1 strut shorter than the others???
i like the table approach, if u have a large weight on one side of the table and the table is sitting on corner scales, what happens when u shorten 1 leg to get the scales even, then sit it back on a flat surface??? wonky!!

now what happens when u move the weight to the centre to even out the weight, then put the table on a flat surface?? it's pretty logical don't u think..

(i think this will be the fourth time i have said this)
corner weighting should be done by moving components or adding weight...


Now let this be the last discussion about cornerweighting in this thread...
make a new topic if u dissagree and ill glady write the same thing (for the 5th time)

1200gxman, sorry nothing against u personally, i just don't like datsun users getting the wrong information..

", i just don't like datsun users getting the wrong information.."
Neither do I thats why I am replying.....You mention adding weight??? what the??

Yor analogy with the table is incorrect (the 1st analogy of the table is correct)since springs compress etc and table legs don't. Yes ideally you move things around to get the weight the same...however this has limitations.

Coilovers allow you to get the weights on the two front tyres equal and the difference in ride height will not be huge. Maybe you (tappet) should do some research into this before adding more replies.

This is quite a good discussion.
Anyone want to create for us a new thread with regard to workings of coil overs?
Then we don't have to hijack this thread.

Guys,Guys,before anyone has the need to go get a bex and have a lie down,may i suggest you go to a good bookshop and purchase a copy of How to make your car handle By Fred Puhn.All of your questions will be answered(on page 70 actually)a library may even have a copy.Some people will be proven wrong and some right,but it's all about aquiring knowledge and it's way to complicated to attempt to put on this or any other thread,but a small teaser,its done with ride height,just as F1,Super Cars,drag and Speedway cars.HAPPY READING
