ridetechtv Podcast 7 months ago

Description

In episode three of our series with Randy's Randit Trans Am, we get down into the weeds of what makes our complete suspension systems so transformative. When installed on classic cars, they dramatically improve handling and one of the key ways they do that is in the alignment department. 

00:00 | Intro/Setup
00:52 | What Is Camber?
03:45 | How About Caster?
06:01 | Let's Talk 'Toe'!

While having upgraded suspension components on your car is always great, sometimes performance gains can be lost in translation if you don't have the proper alignment to take advantage of what you've just installed.

When it comes to an alignment, street cars have a different mission and purpose than a car that is setup to excel on the track. Randy and Blane dive into the finer points of setting up an alignment for either purpose, discussing the concepts between camber, caster, and toe.

Enjoy and stay tuned for episode four, where we head back to the same track and put the car through it's paces with the Ridetech suspension in place to measure the felt improvement behind the wheel and how much quicker it can negotiate our autocross short course!
