But can't you change the speed of the weight transfer with shock
adjustments? In a quick transition situation slow weight transfer can
actually mean less weight transfer since the transfer never fully happens.
Yes?? I agree that in a steady state turn weight transfer is unaffected by
springs/shocks. But many auto-x turns are far from steady state. By changing
the rate of weight transfer by varying shock valving you can significantly
effect corner entrance and exit phases. In a short enough corner there is
only an entrance and exit phase.
