    i would consider 2 1/2" a lot of travel, but that also depends on a lot of other factors.

      I’ve never really thought of the effects of 5th coil on rr loading and rearend lateral location before. I’ve always just kind of thought of it as set for the type of track (stop and go, or momentum) as far as how much instant traction you need to get off the corner. Maybe something to think about as I’ve struggled in some track conditions getting the rear to roll. I’ve blamed it on possibly too much jbar angle, or too short of a jbar. Maybe it’s lift arm travel allowing too much jbar angle dynamically if that makes sense? Might have to tinker in the garage a little to get a better understanding of everything that’s going on. It’s too good when it’s good to make any drastic changes.

        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 (LM40).

          Are you using a travel indicator to come up with this number or are you actually recording a potentiometer? Rolling the car around under caution will skew travel indicators A LOT.

            Just the travel indicator on the shock shaft.
