Suspension setup question.

[Munday]

Hmmmm, don't agree with this. A soft front end is required so that the chassis is tipped back over the rear wheels (RWD cars) under acceleration, increasing the weight acting through the rear tyres. Ideally, you want the front wheels to be just about to leave the ground, thereby transfering the car's whole weight through the driving wheels. A stiff suspension will not allow this to happen.

However, I imagine that this is not so important on a 4WD car and a stiffer suspension may well be required for FWD in order to reduce rearwards weight transfer.

The softer suspension will not increase the weight over the rear wheels under acceleration, if the front wheels were to lift then they would regardless of soft/stiff suspension. The weight transfer is not affected by suspension stiffness

A higher centre of gravity is great on a rwd car for grip when accelerating.
