How to Reduce Unsprung Weight?

[Xavier]

Methods to reduce unsprung weight: 1. Use lighter wheels; 2. Use lighter suspension arms. Reducing unsprung weight can improve handling. Unsprung weight, also known as unsprung mass, includes the weight of wheels and tires, suspension arms, etc. If the unsprung weight is heavy, it will slow down the rebound and compression of the shock absorbers, preventing the wheels from staying in contact with the ground most of the time, which affects the car's handling and comfort. Many high-end cars focused on handling and sportiness use aluminum suspension arms to effectively reduce unsprung weight and enhance the car's handling.
