Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Racing
German term or phrase: Fahrwerksabstimmung
Team manager talking about practice sessions:

„In erster Linie ging es aber um Reifentests und die Fahrwerksabstimmung.“

The Hispanists seem to think this can be summed up as ‘suspension’ http://www.proz.com/kudoz/854429 . Is this precise enough?

agree  Textklick: Wyhlidal suggests "chassis and suspension setup" or "chassis tuning ". I fancy the latter in this context.
