Randy and Andy,

You guys crack me up. Our cars aren't traveling at speeds close to 2 MPH. Well, at least mine isn't.....

Look here:

Sports Car/Formula Car - 8770 Series canister option

Here is some text from that link:

Tuning Adjustments:

Low-speed compression:

30 clicks of adjustment control the low speed nose area of the curve. This adjuster is used to tune role stiffness, turn-in, and understeer.

High-speed compression:

64 clicks of adjustment control the high-speed blow-off area of the curve and adjusts gross threshold of compression damping. This adjuster is used to tune bumps and curbs, and to gain a general direction in damping levels.


Funny. Penske doesn't mention high versus low speed corners. I wonder why that is?

Look here too:

How dampers work
