■ Classification of suspension system modification
Springs and shock absorbers are important parts of suspension system. There are many modification schemes of springs and shock absorbers on the market, such as short springs, sports suits and twisted shock absorbers.
☆ Short spring Short spring is shorter and stronger than the original spring. Installing a short spring can effectively reduce the center of gravity of the car body, reduce the roll when cornering, make cornering more smooth and smooth, and improve the cornering maneuverability of the vehicle. However, the damping setting of the original shock absorber tends to be comfortable, so the cooperation between the short spring and the original shock absorber is not very stable, and the rebound and compression of the short spring can not be effectively suppressed. Driving on a bumpy road will give you an uncomfortable feeling of jumping. In the long run, the life of the shock absorber will be greatly shortened, and oil leakage may occur. Of course, these conditions are relative. If you drive everyday, the damage will not be so serious. Try not to drive violently. After all, the original shock absorber can't bear the pressure of high load.
After replacing the short spring, the gap between the upper edge of the tire and the fender is generally about two and a half fingers.
Replacing the short spring is the most economical modification scheme to reduce the height of the car body, and it is a good choice for riders with little budget. Of course, the improvement of the handling performance of the short spring is very limited, and there are still many shortcomings, so you must be clear about your purpose when buying, otherwise the expected effect will not be achieved after installation, resulting in unnecessary waste.
☆ Sports suit
The sportswear contains short springs and shock absorbers, which are basically the same as the original factory. Compared with the combination of short spring and original shock absorber, the spring and shock absorber of sports suit are more stable, and the damping of shock absorber can fully cope with the spring rebound and compression. Some brands of shock absorbers can be adjusted according to the needs of drivers and passengers.
Replacing the sports suit can effectively improve the handling performance of the vehicle, which is very suitable for riders who have certain requirements on the handling performance of the vehicle. Of course, the price will be more expensive than the short spring.
☆ Toothed shock absorber Toothed shock absorber has the functions of soft and hard, high and low, adjustable damping, etc., and can be adjusted to personal satisfaction settings within a certain range according to personal needs. It originated from racing. In order to adapt to various tracks, the participating vehicles need to change the settings of springs and shock absorbers. If it is replaced, it will be too troublesome and increase the cost. The twisted-tooth shock absorber can solve these problems well, and greatly change the handling performance of the vehicle without replacing the spring and shock absorber.
Replacing the twisted-tooth shock absorber is a professional transformation, which has a high degree of freedom in setting the vehicle. The debugging of twisted-tooth shock absorber needs repeated experiments and experience, and finally achieves the desired effect of the owner. Even if the same model is replaced by the same product, there will be differences, and the individual's demand for control is also very subjective.
The working principle of air suspension is to change the height of the car body by controlling the air pressure, including hinged shock absorber, air pressure control system and electronic control system. At auto shows or cyclists' parties, we often see many cars lying on the ground. Many people who have never seen it will think, how do you drive this car? Don't worry, I'll take care of you with one click. When installing the air suspension, a control remote controller will be connected in the car. You can set several gears according to your own requirements and quickly switch between various heights, so that the car can lie on the ground when parking and rise to the normal driving height when driving normally. Air suspension can easily change the height of a car.
