Suspension questions

thats what i like to hear

lolol i got my emotor coilovers for $340 and stiff as fuk ask rad mike lol

that one part of the highway is nuts.
fucing roller coaster status

did you go as low as you can yet? lets see some pics

Yea, ended up pretty low but along with that i took my whole front end off, got new door panels, and did some other shit i didnt plan to do today but o well.. ill post up pics in a bit

because stiffness is a must for people who actually do work. because cut springs is a billion times more dangerous than a coilover will ever be. because coilovers have adjustability available. ride quality is not an issue. all the other things are.

with cut springs, you still have the same damper travel. Which means if somehow you hit a bump or something that causes you to get a good amount of suspension travel, your springs wouldnt have any compression on them, causing them to be able to move around freely. This means that they can move off of their perch and fuck up your shock and possibly car when the damper goes back under compression.

if you cut them too short yea and doesnt the spring rate change when u cut them?

LOL I was being sarcastic

The only thing that changes is the height of the spring

Holy old thread, but I was curious what kind of suspension set ups people are running. I realllllly want to slam my car more but I think my Tein basics are about as low as they go. I want big time slammage and some wicked camber and I want to see pics of other people's stuff. Any takers? How low can you go?

absolutely false.

spring rate increases when you cut coils off.

i knew it lol i felt like an idiot after i said that
