Taken extended load out for feature lowers car some doesn’t it

What we are talking about is with a dual rate spring set up, which you aren't allowed to do by your rules. So you can't really do it without lowering the extended load. On a dual rate deal you just lower the ride hieght load number and keep the same extended load number.Originally posted by hunterracing View PostThat be tuff on our deal with single straight spring it can be done but not. Get the extended load number up there more to start nite off say 150 or more then if you drop It per say what some do for Feature would lower lr but seems odd take load outa lr at full hike to me

I'm not sure if you just meant you only lowered LR ride hieght or that to do that you had to change overall rates or extended load at the same time? I'm going to assume you mean:Originally posted by riddle28 View Postive done the soft ultra compressed stuff and traction is awesome in the moisture but goes away in the slick. any tips to supplement to help this problem?
You lowered ride hieght but you most likely softened the spring rate at the same time, meaning maybe you had a 150# spring with say 700# ride load and 150# of extended load. So you switched to a softer rate like 100# and had 600# ride load and still had the 150# extended load so the car sits 1" lower at ride.
If that is somewhat the case (Shown rates my not be right but shows the idea), that's not that untypical. Meaning lots of people may feel a straight 200# spring with 150# of extended load goes better for them in the traction and not as good in the slick over say a 175/175 with the same extended load.
It also depends on how you where doing you dual/stacked LR to get the rates, meaning are you progressive, digressive or just stacked. All can give different feels to different drivers, there in my experience doesn't seem to be a one fits all as everyone seems to like different stuff whether it's due to driving style, car or track shape/configuration.
You'd probably need to be more specific on the actual rates and load changes you did for someone to point you in a direction, IMO.

Generally speaking, with a dual rate package, keeping the ride load the same and lowering the extended load will have what effect?

When at extension, it means you have less LR load. So, at extension, tighter off gas looser on gas. What really is seen by driver will depend on car attitude at specific points on the track.Originally posted by Twenty-Five View PostGenerally speaking, with a dual rate package, keeping the ride load the same and lowering the extended load will have what effect?
