Good morning everyone
For those of you with adjustable perches on your rear shocks where did you get them? What size springs did you use? I know that Paragon has them and Koni shocks are on sale Thanks David |

Not sure how they are going to work on the street as I got them for AX.   |

I have the same setup from ground control but with 125lbs springs and are trying to dial in the perch setting. Questions: 1) how long is your spring 2) what position do you have the perch clip and 3) and do you have a pic of your car on the ground respectively how much space to you have between your rubber and body? Thanks buddy! |

You can count them in the photo. Edit: The above photo is not where they sit now. I will post some pics later. 3) I will take some photos today and get some measurements from the tire to the fender, inside and out, when I get done rolling the fenders a little more today. I had the car corner balanced yesterday, so as soon as I do the above I will get back to you. That should give you a pretty good idea. |
