i think people get a little confused with suspension setup i have worked on meny modified street cars that handle horrably it all to easy to over do it
we just need to brake it all down to the basics realy
a spring holds the body up winding up/down the coller to get ride hight right staticly
change the rate of the spring to make it harder/softer
a damper only controls the rate at what your suspension can move in and out
bound is on closing, rebound is opening
we need to control this more than spring rates
if we dont have enough the body bounces up and down like its on a trampolene to much its like the suspension is locked up and also can have an effect on winding the ride hight down (too much rebound) or up to much bound as the car moves over the bumps and the damping slows movement too much.
small bumps in the road will show up to much damping and humpback bridges wil show up no enough when you get more tuned in.
