1st up Definitions

Springs (coils) – As the word basically says, these are helical springs that mechanically absorb energy from the road, these can vary from soft to hard.

Shocks (dampers) – a Hydraulic piston that absorbs and dissipates vibration, these can vary in many ways to be discussed later.

Swaybar/Anit Roll Bar – A bar that connects opposite wheels together left/right using rubber mounts and end links, Reduces body roll massively.

Camber – Angle of the wheel relative to chassis vertically. IE Positive camber – When the bottom of the wheel is closer together than the top, Negative Camber – When the top of the wheel is closer together than the bottom.

Toe – Direction the front of the tire to be facing better known as leading edge of the tyre. IE Toe In – the tires will be facing inwards inside the guard. Toe Out – tires will be facing outwards from the guard.

Caster – The angle which the steering will pivot on. Hard to explain this one, basically the point where you’re steering will apply energy to the wheel to turn. Positive caster – if the pivot axis tilted backward of the wheel, If pivot axis is tilted from the front then its negative caster.

Oversteer – Rear wheels loosing traction 1st. Car turns more sharply than intended.

Understeer – Front wheels loosing traction 1st. Car turns less sharply than intended.

Torque Steer – Steering pulls towards one side sharply upon acceleration due to the beast VTEC

Bump steer – Car has its own mind for a split second when you hit a bump.
