Re: square body front coil over questions

They're easier to 'tune' but as you indicated that requires swapping to slightly different rate springs which adds cost. They also allow dialing in the heights more specifically vs a traditional set-up. Doing your own C/O allows you to engineer things the way you want but you need to know/understand how it all comes together to yield the same or better results as one of the mass produced kits. The longer the shock stroke, the better the ride when matched w/the spring rate. Packaging is where the DIY approach can be beneficial. Detroit Speeds C10 kit is basically a 4/5 - 5/7 drop & that's w/a drop spindle. Ridetechs is similar as far as drop dimensions. Initial spring rate is derived from the vehicles specific set-up (motor type; F/R/corner weights; accessories; etc).

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol. Last edited by SCOTI; 05-17-2023 at 12:26 PM. |
