Hey jeremy, are your ohlins two way adjustable as in compression and rebound?
I wanted to ask your opinion on some settings. At the time trial I still think I was
leaning enough to almost pick a wheel up cause I was getting the hesitation
when trying to power out.

PRP - Test n Tune - Wed night
Anyone going up for test n tune on Wednesday (9/12)? I just got a Mellon Tune map and I am going to log some runs on the track...and see what happens. It will be interesting to compare my 1/4 mile times with this tune compared to Dynoflash tune. The nice thing about the Mellon tune is I can send him logs and he will tweak it for me.
I know some other tuners do the same thing...so we shall see how this goes....

Mike my shocks are single adjustable. I would say if your picking up wheels, i'd either think about a front sway bar, or stiffer spring rates. I get a wheel up alot with my setup. Im not running any crazy spring rates either. For setting on the shocks i started the season with them pretty stiff on compression. I was getting alot of wheel hop on acceleration so i went to a much softer setting and if really helped alot.

9k (504lbs) up front and 8k (448lbs) in the rear. With mine being double adjustable I haven't even played with the rebound setting yet. I was trying to find some reading material on when to adjust what per a condition but have been unlucky thus far.

You should see the spring rates of most of the prepped auto-x cars. Those are not very high in reality. Like 12-10, or even more. I have experience tunning suspension for Mtn bike. I have 4 way adjustable on the bike. So i kno alittle about what it does. It is very confusing as to how to make it all work together.

I know what you are saying about the spring rates, I guess I looked at it as it's nearly twice as stiff as stock so and I don't have r compounds so can't believe I'd lift a wheel. Guess I'll just have to do some trial and error eh?
