A typical 8" spring coil-over only has 3.25 inches of total travel and it's usually set up to have 50-60% of that in compression. The shock will bottom out long before coil bind occurs, unless the...

If the A-arms are angled upward, at the ball joint end, that would mean that the car is sitting lower than intended. If the shock length is proper - in the 11.2-11.6 inch range, it means that the...

Yes, most bars have right and left hand threads, so the bars can be adjusted without unbolting one of the ends. I've got triangulated 4-bars with rubber bushings that should yield a better ride, but...

Here's an article that discusses spring rate and motion ratio. One of the downsides to the 8" spring length coil-overs is an increased spring rate to keep the shock from bottoming out, since the...

That's means it's a soft spring IF that's what it takes to get the shock up to 11.2-11.6 inches. Seems like there would be a good chance of coil-bind under compression.

Sounds like a typical response. If they put the right numbers into the spring rate calculator, it includes an approximate preload value that's usually not much more than an inch. If the spring is...

Looks like something is wrong at the front, with that much preload on the spring. That would actually indicate a spring that's too soft and the adjuster had to raised way up to get the necessary...

If all commenting haven't done so, taking a look at the Heidt's super ride II suspension at the website linked below will provide some answers. I have to assume that Ride Tech knows the A-arm...

If you have a Heidts Super ride on the front, I would think that Heidts would have selected a spring rate that's not too far off. Heidts has already selected what should be the proper coil-over...
