Re: Rally Suspension project
Did you finish the fab for those? I like that idea too. Maybe that will be phase 3.2

Re: Rally Suspension project
Interesting. So, those look like about the same spring rates I've seen floating around, although the fr's would have gone up a bit if you cut a coil off. If I go the route of modifying the lower perch, these are available between 400-500lb spring rates. Free height is a little shorter than an SPG sp...

Re: Rally Suspension project
The plan for this weekend is to do some measuring on the car and a bit of headscratching. Hopefully can get some corner weights, shock lengths, spring rate calcs (still don't have a spring rate tool), full droop & compression and see when/if the tripods pull out of the inner drivers. I'll also t...

Re: Rally Suspension project
Yeah, we've blown through the sheet metal on one side and scabbed in some angle iron at one point. Has anyone cycled the suspension while watching the tripod move in the inner driver? Our inner driver failure in 2018 was a strange one...we hit a big embedded rock on the left side while landing a jum...

Something like this would almost be a direct fit for the rear and if the fr top mount gets moved up a bit, could add an inch of travel there. Unsure about the valving....380/60.

Re: Rally Suspension project
At $200ish/shock, a single bigboy shock would be cheaper. Anyone know the compressed and extended length of oem fr a rr shocks?

Re: Rally Suspension project
And, I think the direction I'm going in for the moment is springs in their stock location with larger shocks using fabricated upper mounts if needed to accommodate for longer overall shock length. And I kinda want to go back to an upper mount more like the 99 where the attachment point is inside the...
