HS RBD DAMPING :
High-speed rebound adjusts the shock in extension over bumps and curb strikes. Higher values will reduce how quickly the shock
will expand, while lower values will allow the shock to extend more easily. Despite not having as much of an effect on handling
in result to driver inputs, High-speed rebound can produce similar results in terms of aerodynamic control and uncontrolled
oscillations if set improperly. 10 is maximum damping while 0 is minimum damping.
C A MBER
Camber is the vertical angle of the wheel relative to the center of the chassis. Negative camber is when the top of the wheel is
closer to the chassis centerline than the bottom of the wheel, positive camber is when the top of the tire is farther out than the
bottom. Due to suspension geometry and corner loads, negative camber is desired on all four wheels. Higher negative camber
values will increase the cornering force generated by the tire, but will reduce the amount of longitudinal grip the tire will have
under braking. Excessive camber values can produce very high cornering forces but will also significantly reduce tire life, so it is
important to find a balance between life and performance. Increasing front camber values will typically result in increased front
axle grip during mid to high speed cornering but will result in a loss of braking performance and necessitate a rearward shift in
brake bias to compensate.

RE AR RIDE HEIGH T
Distance from ground to a reference point on the rear of the chassis. Increasing rear ride height will decrease rear downforce
as well as increase overall downforce and will allow for more weight transfer across the rear axle when cornering. Conversely,
reducing ride height will increase rear downforce percentage but reduce overall downforce while reducing the weight transfer
across the rear axle. Rear ride height is a critical tuning component for both mechanical and aerodynamic balance considerations
and static rear ride heights should be considered and matched to the chosen rear corner springs for optimal performance.
Minimum legal rear ride height is 50.0 mm while maximum legal rear ride height is 95.0 mm.
