Comments by "Lok Tom" (@loktom4068) on "What's The Best Suspension - Soft or Stiff Springs?" video.
In general softer suspension are better suitable for road cars which constant meets unexpected and uneven road surfaces. Race cars on race track which constantly drive at very high speed on controled flat surfaces should use hard suspension setup. Because of aerodynamic lifts and down forces effects the racer so you must use hard suspension setup to maintain the height. Some people still don't have any clue due to the amount of softness and hardness to use for customize their own vehicle. Although not all the time but most of the time your vehicle manufacturer's engineers has calculated the best compomise settings for your vehicle's main use purpose. But randomly some owners may not agrees with his OEM setup. So if you need to customize it then you must figure out how much softer or harder than the OEM. Not surprisingly it will be trials and errors for your perfect setting. Unless you have the opportunity to full access to your manufacture's engineering faculty or luckly for you the after market supplying you an exact test mule as your vehicle. If you still don't understand why and how, then stick with OEM can't go wrong. After all you are betting with your wallet.😇
