The 3 Secrets To PERECT Suspension Performance

Did you know 70% of your suspension performance comes from this.

According to MCA Suspension’s Josh Coote, 70% of what makes your car handle well comes down to the damper valving, not just spring rates or shock brand. In this tech talk, Josh breaks down the three most critical elements of suspension:
1.) Travel
2.) Springs
3.) Valving

You’ll learn what’s inside a damper, how shim stacks control oil flow, and how to think about rebound and compression using a simple water tap analogy. Josh also explains why real-world testing often reveals things a suspension dyno can’t.

Wondering when it’s time to revalve your shocks? Josh lays out a clear method for deciding, so you’re not spending money before it’s needed.

Whether you’re building a car for drift, drag, circuit or daily use, this video helps you understand what really makes suspension work, and how the team at MCA work to give you the ability to find confidence and control in your application.
