Thumbs up

Excellent information. Great presentation. Kudos! I have a BS in Mech engineering so I'm generally critical of people's analysis of how car setup affects handling and performance. This was well planned and clearly presented. You have definitely increased my understanding of shock science.

One idea for general information is looking at the relationship between spring stiffness and viscous damping. For instance how wide is the sweet spot for oil viscosity for a particular stiffness spring. And also, if you increase/decrease spring stiffness which general way should you adjust oil viscosity. Or maybe oil viscosity is more dependent on temperature. Or where ever the data leads you. Damn I wish I had a lab.
