Can't bottom out blue/gray rocket ?
Is it conceivable that there isn't enough travel on a blue/gray rocket RF to hit the ground with anything under these conditions :
Raised cross member upgrade NOT DONE
Drop spindles installed
RF standard 7" Integra IDA shock w/ Eibach 550# bump spring installed, NO spring installed on coilover.
When I put this on the car yesterday, and jacked up the LR, and the car was fully sitting on that RF bump spring, nothing under the car (cross member, etc) was within 3-4" (estimate) of hitting the ground.
Is this normal ? That bump spring is around 2.25" tall I think .. is that enough to keep it out of the ground ?
My starting C-C measurement was 17.750 inches.
When the car is sitting on the bump spring, the C-C is 15" .. so I'm never going to get to a 3" number, let alone a 4" number.
Just looking for thoughts on this. It may be just fine as is .. it's jut not what I was expecting from reading on this forum and looking at the smash number suggestions I got from rocket.
I put it all on the smasher last night and at the 15" C-C with the standard spring and the bump spring installed, it was at 2500# at that 15".
I wonder how much farther the travel would go after it's hit that bump spring ? Didn't look to me like it had much travel left in it before coil binding.
