Rumley Controversy

Could it be configured to help with weight transfer on initial starts?

You could. It would be a disaster. You can't have a disjointed damping curve in your operating range

So basically it's a legal way to cheat the rules lol. Appreciate explanation billet, it makes sense. Shame rules have allowed technology to dominate the sport

It's yet another example of poorly-considered rules resulting in more complicated parts being used.

It's been that way forever, things to beat rules are just more expensive to beat them now. Before the droop rule, you know how many times we have ran over large wire ties on the track after the green flag flies? Those that don't know, people wire tied the frame to axle to hold the LR down to pass tech and once you hit the gas the wire tie broke and you were 2 or 3" over legal.

That was the cheap way, then they started looking for wire ties so: Then you have position sensitive LR shocks with 800# of zero point below natural ride height, so crew stands on the car to smash LR below ride and the shock holds the car down. Once you apply extra poundage from the bars when on the gas, you overcome the zero point and the car will come back to ride height and act normal. You just had to balance the amount of zero point and it's positions to make it work for each LR ride load the spring combo had.

whats the average cost of one of these position sensitive shocks ?
