The standard slip-yoke Falcon is about the same length as the Brinn transmission. A Falcon roller-slide is the same length as any Bert transmission, which is about 3" shorter than the Brinn. So...

as far as i know, mastersbilt has only provided a LONGER left front steering arm in the standard genx spindles. mastersbilt "crate" spindles have even steering arms left and right. the only...
-
I should clarify. The frame rail of the R Mastersbilts are roughly 3" higher than the previous car. So you would add that to the ride height or droop number. Total travel capability is unchanged...
-
The Mastersbilt "R" series cars have a completely different rear clip than previous cars. 18" of measured droop might be excessive to some but the car is certainly capable of it.
-
I have used a bumpstop and packers to hold the left rear up if it droops too much. Just make sure you aren't racing on the bumpstop! There are other ways around it as well.
-
It sounds like you have too much preload.
-
Spacers do make a difference in where the power is made. This was several years ago but in back to back tests on a 604 between a 1" and 2" hvh 4 hole spacer, the 2" made significantly more torque at...
-
With such rules it's as important to be able to adjust the nose height as it is the deck height without changing the frame/ride heights. Ride heights don't mean any less now with newer technology...

Do you have the side cover off?
-
No, I'm pretty sure Matt49 stated that the force is "completely absorbed" by the upper ball joint/upper control arm.
-
R2C apparently isn't out of business. Just got a shipment of filters in from them today....after waiting 3 months or so...

If you reduce the WHEEL LOAD on the RF by putting on a wheel spacer, you will adjust the WHEEL RATE to maintain the WHEEL LOAD. Whether the WHEEL RATE changes IN THIS CASE or not doesn't matter. ...
-
Everything you are referring to is concerning wheel rate. When you add a 1" spacer and do nothing else YOU WILL REDUCE WHEEL LOAD. The leverage of the spindle on the upper and the frame doesn't...
-
I understand the argument being made, and it's a really fun fact. Maybe there needs to be more clarity on the definition of "wheel rate" and "wheel load".
Unless the laws of physics have...
-
If you bolt a 1" or 2" or whatever spacer on the RF and do nothing else you will need more spring load to accomplish the same wheel load at the same travel, THAT'S ONLY ASSUMING you can generate the...
-
I was thinking more along the lines of a bellcrank for a shock mount that is locked out to engage a 700-1000# spring. The bellcrank ratio would be designed to hold the car up at the rod pressure of...
-
you can stuff a 12" 225 mx spring on a RR full of spring rubbers and not affect handling one bit in the range the spring actually operates. You can also put a single rubber in the RR and affect...

ETG poly. It has 2 stacked orange pucks. Suppose to be the same as 120psi in their air deal in total travel (3/4"+), which proved to be true weekend before last. Heavy tube, alum cage.

<blockquote>For what it's worth, I had 3" of 5th coil travel this past weekend: #325 spring at 37", 1/4 mile, semi-banked, relatively slick throughout the night, and we were on a hard rear tire...
-
i would consider 2 1/2" a lot of travel, but that also depends on a lot of other factors.
-
the resistance you feel is more a function of the load on the LR spring than anything else, at ride-height or race attitude. I would say that 2 1/2" of actual 5th coil travel is out of range of...

I have used 2 of your machines, new about a year ago. I have also used an older model. Not sure how old, it was just a little different than the other two. I have also spent a lot of hours on 2...

What is the maximum center to center you can fit in the EZ-Rater?
-
If you are going to use the machine for what 90% of the people that have a spring smasher are going to use it for, it works adequately. It is not a fool-proof machine though, you must pay attention...

On the GenX series car, somewhere between serial number 2535 and 2620 on MOST frames they raised the RH rear rail 5/8". This makes the indicated RR ride height 8 1/8" from the previous 7 1/2". The...
