lol, just quoted myself.Originally posted by andybob View PostLet me see if I am doing this right...
I am getting these early next week:

I am not going to mess with preload too much, just make it so the springs are stiff in the perches. The problem is:
If I were to spin the height all the way down so the bottom silver piece is touching the bottom spring perch, and the car isn't low enough still, I could then order shorter springs so I have more room to spin the silver piece lower...Correct?
And yes, Megan makes the spring I would need to go another 50mm lower in the right spring rate.
Megan claims that you can go +/- 2kg/mm spring rates and still be safe with the valving. With the adjustable dampening, I can see why they say that. Add a stiffer spring, run some stiffer dampening and I think I could be safe.Originally posted by da3bous View PostYou could do that, but the current struts in those are valved for a certain spring size and rate. In the short term it might not be bad, but in the long run you would be putting extra stress on the struts and will cause them to fail earlier.
My thoughts exactly. I think as long as I keep the preload low on a stiffer, shorter spring it shouldn't affect the stroke of the shock.Originally posted by eskimopunk View PostIf he got a heavier spring (something with a higher spring rate) then would it battle the stress of also being shorter?

Anyone else have any suspension knowledge? I've set-up a lot of suspensions on snowmobiles, but never on a car.
