So, at full droop your springs are loose? I'd imagine this could get hairy in cases of inside wheel lift or jumps like at Shenandoah. What if the car re-weights with the spring kinked on the perch?

I understand what you're trying to say: linear vs. progressive tendencies.

 

I use the helper to keep tension on the spring so that it doesn't unseat when unloaded. I run the 6in springs because they gave me more clearance around the TC Design upper arms, which I no longer run. I also got a deal on a whole bunch used 6in springs in different rates as a bundle. When on the ground, the helpers are completely compressed, and even when unloaded, they are mostly compressed. It's mostly for peace of mind, as I store my car with the wheels off the ground between events and I was always paranoid about checking that all the springs re-seated properly.

 

Then I assume you use the upper perch on the Koni shock body. Yes?

 

I wish, Mr. Skip Schumacher. But seriously, you had 4 wheels up at 'Doah before (with pics to prove it), how are your springs keeping still?

 

Skip isn't.

 

Nope. The sleeves sit on the lower perch. The collars are run up within an inch of the top of the sleeve to get the ride height that I want, though. I could move the sleeves up to the upper perch and lower the collar some if I wanted to.

 

Of course. I have basically the same setup. I am having "the dumb" right now.
