Rake Calculator
Static rake = rear ride height − front ride height. Under downforce the suspension compresses by its travel, so the rake you get at speed is what matters in fast corners.

Damper Helper
Set bump (compression) per corner; rebound (extension) should follow closely — rule of thumb: rebound ≈ bump + 1. Stiffer springs need stiffer dampers.
| Corner | Bump (clicks) | Suggested rebound |
|---|---|---|
| FL | 11 | |
| FR | 11 | |
| RL | 9 | |
| RR | 9 |
Pogo warning
Too-fast (stiff) compression makes the car bounce — pogo — and the tyre loses contact with the road. If the car is skittish over bumps, back the bump damping off.
Float warning
Too-high rebound holds the wheel up after a bump — the tyre can't re-plant and you lose contact. Keep rebound close to bump, not far above it.
Dampers have two jobs: (1) road connectivity — keeping the tyre following the surface (wrong settings cost real lap time), and (2) minor pitch fine-tuning. Don't try to fix an understeer that's there 40% of the lap with dampers. And remember: a pretty damper histogram / bell curve is not proof of a good setup.
