What is the difference between using an anti roll bar to limit your body roll using shock crossovers and compression settings?
An anti roll bar uses the extended suspension member to add spring rate to the compressed suspension member effectively limiting roll and squatting the vehicle. The rider will feel more stability and a squat coming off the corner. Spring crossovers add spring rate at a certain ride height so the spring stack exerts more force to the compressed suspension members but no squat is seen and proper weight distribution to each of the four wheels isn’t seen. If you adjust your roll using the low speed compression adjustment on your shocks you can adjust the rate at which the vehicle will roll but ultimately in long corners the vehicle will roll to the same roll angle and roll isn’t limited. What materials are good and what do they mean to the racer? Most race products are made with materials that have a high strength to weight ratio. It is beneficial to keep the weight of your vehicle down as much as possible because mass opposes acceleration. Approved air craft grade materials are the best s
