Default Good explanation of drag race suspensions

not really a mod, but a fairly easy to understand explanation of how drag racing suspensions work.

This is a very well written bit of info and finally helped me understand why I don't want the softest setting all the way around. I knew I wanted the front to rize and the rear stiffer but I didn't really get why until I read this.

Thank you for posting it

wish I could claim credit, but I just picked it up at my local site, and put here and on TS. But you're right, it finally did make a few more things clear to me also, not that I really understand it all yet, but I am closer :BigBoss2:
