Coil bind

Coil bind is a style of setup used in various levels of NASCAR racing.

Coil bind setups utilize very soft front springs and very stiff rear springs to control the pitch attitude of the body.

[1] This is in contrast with conventional setups which place the stiffer springs at the front of the car for superior mechanical grip, that is grip via the vehicle suspension and tires.

As a car approaches the end of a straightaway, the downforce generated by the body of the car should increase the sprung weight until the coil springs compress until they bind and the suspension can no longer travel (hence the name).

[2] The goal of coil bind is to keep the air dam (or splitter if applicable) at the front of the car as low to the ground as possible to create an area of low pressure under the car.
