Infraction Rear shock tower and steering rack tuning

[MrWednesday]

Can anyone please give me a very simple explanation about how these setting options affect performance/ride characteristics? Or at least the correct name of the metric so I can go find out for myself? How the various rear diffuser inserts make a difference… I think I know what the upper holes on the shock stands do, they stiffen the suspension right? The closer together the steeper the angle the softer the suspension… so if I’m doing on road speed runs where do I want them vs if I’m doing drifting on uneven concrete for example. Then there’s there’s 2 options on the steering rack and 4 on the rear lower shock stand where the camber links attach. I kinda want to tweak the same settings on my MBX8TR ECO but that’s a whole different monster. It’s not lost on me that this is probably a pain in the ass to describe, but hopefully between a couple of guys all of these points can be touched on. I would honestly be very grateful for your time. Thank you in advance

I cannot explain any of it...

But a member here did a good tutorial on the shock placement basics.
