The comprehensive guide to suspension tuning and optimisation

If you’re using your car competitively, then you're always looking for ways to improve your performance and reduce your lap times. It’s no secret that well tuned suspension is at the centre of going faster.

Having the latest and most expensive dampers and suspension components doesn’t do you any good if you don’t understand how each part of your suspension works and what each adjustment does. This is where High Performance Academy’s suspension tuning course comes into play.

This course will take you from the basic components involved in motorsport suspension, all the way through to choosing springs, tuning your dampers and calculating the adjustments to improve your chassis balance.

Whether you're a complete beginner just putting coilovers into your street car, or an experienced racer who's got a few seasons under their belt, you're bound to learn actionable lessons to optimize your suspension and setup. This course starts at the fundamental concepts of suspension operation and expands from there. If you get into the course and realise you already know anything, no worries. We stand by our product and offer a no questions asked, 60 day money back guarantee.
