AMS2 setup symptom

Bottoms out and scrapes

Also called: the car bottoms out

The car scrapes, jumps when it touches and runs out of travel in compressions.

It is too low for its suspension: not enough travel to the bump stop, or the spring is soft for the load.

  • Kerbs

    If setup is fixed, you cannot tune this: reduce risk in fast corners.
