So at 12.5" your only going to have about 1.75" of travel? How much shorter are your shocks over the standard OTS TTX shocks. Added price to have shortened rears? You couldn't safely run at 12.5" without bottoming out the shocks.

Not including the stop I have 3 inches roughly so that would put me at 2.5 inches at a ride height of 12.5 inches and if our mr was 1-1 it would still be at 2.25 inches of travel at the damper and another let's say 5-10mm off bump stop compression.

The bump stop isn't on the top of the body in the pic, the o-ring is holding it up about a 1/4-3/8"

.75" at the wheel = .51" at the damper not 1.25"

I was the first to buy the short body version and it was the same price as the previous longer version.

When PSI were test fitting these rear shocks on my car with the Tein top hats and no springs, we impacted the wheel into the body before running out of travel.

test fitting pic:


Big thanks to PSI for their work on my car. The pic above is of the rear but we tried a several different variations on the front to find the right ride height and bump travel. It's a challenge in the front to get the bump travel right and keep the tire from rubbing the inner fender too much.

Expect a much more thorough report at the end of March after my first race with the fixed fuel system.

Macr88, do you have a picture of how you mounted your camera to record video of the rear suspension?
