I’m moving up from 225lb to 300lb springs in the rear to try and combat the rear rolling over and the large amount of front, inside wheel lift I’m getting. Is there a general rule of thumb for when I should seam weld the rear shock towers?

I'm confused by your thoughts on this? Can you explain?
Not trying to question, just trying to understand your train of thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm a track guy not an auto-x guy for the record. My thoughts: Stiffer compression valving slows the rearward weight transfer motion and reduces the front tire pick up. Heavier spring rate will try to eliminate any rearward weight transfer and apply extra load to the tire carcass possibly overloading contact patch (aka my snap oversteer comment earlier) Having thought about it a bit more, why no rear sway and have you thought about travel limiters for the rear shock like the GT used to use or shorter stroke shocks in the rear? |
