What I am looking for is a comparison of the aftermarket springs. I don't believe all of the aftermarket springs are the same length as the OEM springs. Would a shorter spring be less or more effective?
My springs are shorter than the OEM. I fab'd a spacer top match the length of the OEM.
As for longer or shorter springs, you'll never know the difference, after all, adjusting the preload effectively shortens and lengthens the spring. The issue would be if you compressed the spring to the point that you were getting coil bond before the stroke was used up. This is not the case with the springs I am running. And don't get wound up (bah dum dum dum) on coil bind as it is specifically how progressive springs work. In linear rates it only matters as I descrfbed before.
Ya know Tim, you might be getting a little senile or you have been saucing it up. ::003:: ::005:: You have been to my place, you have been with me when I have fielded calls from SPS, we've discussed all of this over breakfast, we've had some extensive conversations on the topic of both front and rear suspension. Why not come on over, as I've offered many a time, and take mine for a spin. ::001::
And, to all, I will be posting up a tech day at my place for November 10th this week. It's time we get together and lie, eat, and wrench! Stay tuned.
