tuning chassis generally refers to adjusting things like shock absorbers, spring rates, heights etc. You can tune any chassis to a certain degree but
most tube chassis cars have a lot of adjustabilty built into them like multiple pick up points for rear ladder bars etc etc. Tube chassis is generally
stiffer as well. Hope this helps.

i guess weight transfer is not hard to get sorted in a vw ha but some of the torque you guys are pumpin out wow

weight transfer is actually a problem in the real quick stuff. generally need to move weight forward when you start getting into 8's and lower.

way they work.JVLRacing
