They eat up the the equivalent spring rate worth of weight, which in my case is around 100 lbs IIRC (got to remember the effect of springs in series).

I'm waiting for a full droop picture or video. How long does it take to jack up a car...

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 11:39 AM

Not long, but I'm at work.

The helpers will do something when the entire rear becomes unloaded not so much on the side to side because of the sway bar.

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 01:53 PM

Unfortunately, the road course I go to has no jumps ;)

I could see how that would be the case. I need to get some footage of the front too. I'll see if I can find a place to mount the camera.

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 01:55 PM

Maybe under hard braking on sticky tires?

Braineack 06-04-2012 02:26 PM

i want to see 40mph over a speed bump :rofl:

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 02:29 PM

I will do hard breaking from 40+ and see what happens... No speed bump ;)

Braineack 06-04-2012 02:31 PM

oh come on, we need data + lolz!

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 02:33 PM

I'll supply the camera, someone else supply the car.

Braineack 06-04-2012 02:35 PM

supply the xidas and ill supply the car... lets see how far this goes.

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 02:37 PM

How bout I pull a shock and just beat on it with a bat?

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 03:03 PM

Actually, i just remembered a spot on the highway that feels like the car really lifts off the road. That might be a great shot of the car unloading... I'll try to get that on film.

I've done ~85mph through speedbumps at MSRH...that was a sad moment. lol

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 04:51 PM

And you wasted it with no film footage. As pennance, let's do it again. I'll grab my camera...

MoonieGT 06-04-2012 07:37 PM

Here is full droop, not bound:
