LEFT/RIGHT FRONT
CORNER WEIGHT
The weight underneath each tire under static conditions in the garage. Correct weight arrangement around the car is crucial for
optimizing a car for a given track and conditions. Individual wheel weight adjustments and crossweight adjustments are made via
the spring perch offset adjustments at each corner.
FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
Distance from ground to a reference point on the chassis. Since these values are measured to a specific reference point on the
car, these values may not necessarily reflect the vehicle’s ground clearance, but instead provide a reliable value for the height of
the car off of the race track at static values. Adjusting Ride Heights is key for optimum performance, as they can directly influence
the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance as well as mechanical grip. Increasing front ride height will decrease front downforce
as well as decrease overall downforce, but will allow for more weight transfer across the front axle when cornering. Conversely,
reducing ride height will increase front and overall downforce, but reduce the weight transfer across the front axle. Minimum legal
front ride height is 113.0 mm.
SPRING RATE
This setting determines the installed corner spring stiffness. Stiffer springs will result in a smaller variance in ride height between
high and low load cases and will produce superior aerodynamic performance through improved platform control; however, they
will also result in increased tire load variation which will manifest as a loss in mechanical grip. Typically the drawbacks of stiffer
springs will become more pronounced on rougher tracks and softer springs in these situations will result in increased overall
performance. Corner spring changes will influence both roll and pitch control of the platform and ARB changes should be
