Thread: Front shocks

Tweet

Don---the differances between your two cars is significant--one is probably around 45 degrees but in front of the axle--the other is more uprite at probably 20 degrees or less and behind the axle---If they were the same shocks-might be about the same dampening effect as the ones behind the axle would be stonger in dampening but more challanged by the rate to uspension travel---
the ones in front of the axle, while having a better rate would be subject to a severe change of percentage as the angle will be multiplied severely as the suspension travlels downward making the shock lay down--


And, yes , you pretty much have to go with what the mountings are , but the effects of the mountings are drastic---

Now if its a coil-over application the angles of operation will also cause the spring rate to vary (helps in roll as car leans)
