Who needs sway bars when you have bump stops :))
If you are only down 1 inch from stock with 300 lb springs and standard
length shocks and struts, you should not have a problem with hitting the bump stops. That is, unless you are getting the car two feet off the ground over jumps  If you are 2 inches down from stock, then it could happen. If you are three inches down from stock, you will be pretty much sitting on the OEM bump stops full time. Do you still have the OEM external bump stops installed ?? What is your "eyebrow" height, measured from the centre of the front hub to the lip of the fender directly above ?? If you are driving on anything other than perfectly smooth surfaces, you should aim for at least 50 mm of compression travel before you hit the bump stops. Preferably, you should not hit them at all during racing. Cheers... jondee86 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. |
