Suspension & Setup Starter Package

Set up your car for more grip, better balance & faster laps

4.93
(170)

Most handling problems aren’t caused by the parts on your car. They’re caused by how those parts are set up.

This package takes you from understanding how suspension actually works through to measuring and adjusting your own car: wheel and tyre fitment, a full wheel alignment, corner weights, spring and damper setup, and a brake system that matches your grip.

Whether you’re chasing lap times, getting ready for your first track day, or just want a car that feels planted on the road, you’ll know what to change, why, and how to check it worked.

No prior experience is needed. Every course starts with the fundamentals and builds from there.

Includes 24 months of Gold Membership, with access to the members-only forum and weekly live webinars where you can ask about your own car.

What's included

1. Suspension Tuning & Optimization ($149)
Learn how springs, dampers, anti-roll bars and geometry control grip and balance, then choose the right spring rates and adjust your dampers with a clear process.

2. Wheel & Tire Fitment ($99)
Choose wheel and tyre sizes that suit your goals, and understand how width, offset and clearance affect grip and steering before you spend a cent.

3. Motorsport Wheel Alignment ($129)
Measure and adjust camber, caster and toe yourself, and use tyre temperatures and wear to dial in your setup. Includes walkthroughs on McPherson strut, double wishbone and multi-link suspension.

4. Practical Corner Weighting ($99)
Measure corner weights and cross weight, and adjust ride heights to balance the car for consistent handling. Includes a walkthrough on a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive circuit car.

5. Brake System Design & Optimization ($149)
Size, specify and balance a brake system for your car’s power, weight and tyres, and fix problems like a long pedal, fade or early lockup.

6. 24 Months of Gold Membership ($456)

 

Applicable to Any Car

Grip, load transfer and alignment work the same way whatever you drive. The walkthroughs cover McPherson strut, double wishbone and multi-link suspension, along with front-engine rear-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive circuit cars, so you can see the process applied to a setup like yours.

Cheaper Than Getting It Wrong

A bad alignment or the wrong spring rates can cost you a set of tyres, parts that don’t fix the problem, or repeat trips to a shop. This package gives you the skills to set up your car yourself, and to know when it’s been done right.

60 Day Money Back Guarantee

Buy with confidence. All HPA courses come with a complete, no-questions-asked 60-day money-back guarantee. If you buy a course or package and find it’s not right for you for any reason, we’ll refund your money in full.

Suitable for Professionals and Enthusiasts

This package fits whether you’re an enthusiast setting up your own track or road car, or a performance workshop bringing alignment, corner weighting and suspension setup in-house to offer customers a better service.

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

No. Four of the five courses are Beginner level and start from the fundamentals. Brake System Design & Optimization is Intermediate and follows on from Suspension Tuning & Optimization.

What kind of driving is it for?

The package focuses on circuit and tarmac setup for road, track and motorsport use. The principles help in any discipline, but rally, off-road and oval-specific setup isn’t covered. It doesn’t apply to motorcycles.

What order should I work through it in?

The courses are arranged so each one builds on the last: suspension principles first, then wheels and tyres, alignment, corner weights and brakes. Follow that order and you’ll always have the background you need for the next step.

Will this work for my car?

Yes. The principles apply to any car, and the walkthroughs cover McPherson strut, double wishbone and multi-link suspension on both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive cars.

Do I need special equipment?

For a full setup, you’ll need alignment measuring equipment and corner weight scales. The package shows you how to set up and use both correctly.

What if it’s not right for me?

Every HPA package comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not right for you, for any reason, we’ll refund your money in full.

We usually reply within 12hrs (often sooner)
