Lr front shock on a clamp instead of the bird cage

cob piston? i have never built one over 850@0, but i dont think that it is out of the question, Cob deal is still really trick

We dont have a COB at this time but have considered purchasing one. We just have standard off the shelf bilstein stuff. We have bought up alot of shocks and just use whats good off them.

Are you saying with the COB you havent been over 850, or with regular digressive or linear piston you havent?

We dont have a high dollar dyno so its tough to say for sure where we are but i'm thinking in the 500 range at 3inches. I have a guy near me i've worked with we plan on taking some stuff to to get a better idea of how mean we are getting them.

If you want to slow down shaft speed by taking it off the BC, why not just run the shock on top of the LR axle like a Pierce? If you have it up front on a clamp bracket it will take some of your "crutch" away when you get out of the throttle because of axle wrap or "unwrap" lol That is right where you are wanting to hold the car up by your description.

Powerslide- get a cob piston for it, it's just easy to build numbers with the by pass plate and spring that is in them. As a shock guy, the time I have in monkeying with numbers with a standard digressive piston to get it right (and I might not be able to) it would be more cost effective to throw a cob piston in it. Just my 2 cents... You may be surprised too, unless this shock is really old it probably has cob piston in it just no bypass plate

Dirtracer9x- I will take that as a compliment... My shock platform is a lot different than most I try to educate the racer as much as possible to open up lines of communication and to further there capability to tune there car. If that means I lose business get info stolen or get blasted for what I don't know so be it... All my guys will know where they stand. Guys make good living promoting magic in a bottle, I have always been a better racer when I have went about it quantitatively so that's what I do with my customers... Will it work? heck if I know, I have boxes of stuff show up all the time... Is it stupid, maybe but it's different... Another thing is that racers usually all have the jest of what to do.... I haven't seen a LM rf yet that hasn't had some form of tie down in it. What separates the pact is proper applicationand that is an art!

Bcollins- great point, that how ever does take a different length shock and a bump stop to cushion a big fall off the bars... But in theory makes perfect sense

Thanks Gatorade I am positive we do not have a single shock with a cob. If you are a dealer and can get what we need to try it pm me. Thanks for the discussion
