Over the past six months, I’ve immersed myself in learning how to fine-tune vehicle dynamics using AAD Performance products, specifically their rear components and front upper control arms. This journey into adjusting these Aad Car Parts has been enlightening, and I’ve compiled my learnings into a resource intended to empower fellow car enthusiasts and serve as a personal reference. Initially created for future owners of my car, this information evolved into a comprehensive guide with DIY alignment value adjustments tailored for street, drag strip, and road course settings. As the guide took shape, I realized its potential value to a wider audience and decided to share it.
Recognizing my status as a novice mechanic, I understand that sharing my insights might seem presumptuous. However, the very essence of this guide is to demystify suspension adjustments. It aims to demonstrate that even those with limited mechanical experience can confidently perform at-home suspension adjustments with aad car parts, eliminating any intimidation factor.
I’ve titled this complimentary PDF file “AAD Performance Adjustable Suspension Parts Overview – [Current Month/Day/Year]”. This title will remain consistent for future revisions, with only the date updated to reflect the latest version.
Parker Bender from AAD Performance graciously approved of my initiative to share my acquired knowledge. It’s crucial to emphasize that any inaccuracies, oversights, or moments of confusion encountered within this guide are solely my responsibility. AAD Performance has not officially reviewed or endorsed my perspectives on their products or adjustment methodologies. Therefore, the guide begins with a clear disclaimer: “Use the following information at your own risk.” This reflects the necessary caution in today’s world. Nevertheless, the information is grounded in practical experience, and I stand by its accuracy, with the exception of the section titled “Experimental Changing Camber and Caster Simultaneously, Changing Caster Alone.” This area requires further real-world validation and ideally, confirmation from AAD.
To cater to individuals like myself who are new to suspension concepts and components, I’ve included fundamental handling principles and part descriptions. Intentional redundancy across sections minimizes the need to constantly refer back, ensuring a smoother learning process. Consequently, the guide has expanded into a 26-page PDF document, incorporating helpful graphics and images to aid understanding. The PDF is structured into the following sections:
- Suspension Concepts and Terms
- AAD Suspension Parts and Terminology
- The AAD “Tab-Lock” Adjustable Arm System
- Big Picture Available AAD Tabs – Specifically How to Identify Them
- The “Real Time” Align After Part Installation
- DIY – How to Choose Tabs to Change Alignment Values After a Baseline Shoot
- The Rules – Alignment Effects Per Millimeter of Tab Change
- DIY Examples to Change Alignment Values With Tabs
- Experimental Changing Camber and Caster Simultaneously, Changing Caster Alone
If you’re interested in learning more about aad car parts and DIY suspension adjustments, simply send me an email at [email protected], and I’ll gladly share the PDF with you. It’s completely free, with no obligations, and your email address will remain confidential. Offering the guide via email rather than direct download allows me to maintain a record of recipients and distribute revisions and updates effectively. Feel free to share my email address with others who might benefit from this resource, encouraging them to contact me directly to be added to the revision notification list.
Of course, after reviewing the Overview, if you decide you no longer wish to receive future revisions, just let me know via email.
