I'm new to the crate scene and new to spring smashing. Last time out, we damaged a shock(didn't have a backup anyway) but now I've got some. How are y'all changing them at the track? Back before spring smashing(mod), we measured the c2c on shock when we changed springs. I know now we have smash numbers and c2c, how are we doing it at the track? I appreciate any knowledge. Thanks
Instead of measuring a c to c on your car, you just measure it on your smasher.Quote:

Many times, with a smasher, the more important c to c is some travel value away from the ride c to c, but ride c to c is still considered if you have to pass tech.Quote:

Thanks, I might just go back to setting ride hts and scale car, I know alittle about that. Thanks again.
I'm not one to advocate for the "you can't race a latemodel without a smasher" mentality but if your paying sombody to smash your stuff your just passing money away and leaving yourself more in the dark. You can build one for less than 600$ anyone racing latemodels can find 600$
Sorry, just looked at this site again, I don't pay someone to smash them but it is a 4hr round trip. Thanks
