When someone says they've "tuned switches" what does this process involve? I'm starting to see this term more frequently and I don't have any idea what this process involves.
Spring swap to a preferred weight, lubed, and sometimes stickered. Pretty much, any mod you can do to a switch is tuning.
ALSO: This would've been a perfect question for "Simple questions. Simple answers."
Wouldn't you just say the springs are swapped, lubed and stickered?
Well, you could, but it's easier to just say tuned switches than list what's been done in its entirety.
Kinda like with a car. When you tune a care, you don't say, "I changed my injectors, plugs, timing belt... etc" you just say, I got a tune-up, or tuned my car.
There's also the belief that some springs are better than others (individually) so some people go through the process of finding which ones are perfect and feel the best. That could also be considered tuning. It's a really vast term that has many meanings.
