If you have the helper compressed 1" at full droop with a 100lb/in helper, you get an additional 100lb force over ~25lb force generated by gravity. I would say that is pretty significant. (Edit: yes I am ignoring motion ratios, but still I think it is a significant force)

 

More to the point, there's also the stiction of the suspension system to overcome. Adding 150lb of net downward force could net a massive comparative increase over the combination of the stiction force and the force of gravity pulling the wheel/tire/rotor/spindle down.

 

Well, the wallet has been opened and closed. New coilovers have been ordered, along with a few other suspension bits. Yay!

I wonder if the helpers will help with shipping help and help with delivery and installation.....

 

...but only in California.

 

Sweet, did you call up martin and get some MCS?

 

Have you met our lord and savior Prop 65?

 

I have only heard rumors of his existence through text, haven't seen any actual proof though. Wait.....this sounds familiar....


Seriously, if I had wads of cash, I'd personally replace every state line marker sign with a big, orange ones quoting the wisdom of our Lord Proposition 65....and on the backside it would say "Leaving California, you are now cancer free".
