need help with traction on 2013 gen x

[hucktyson]

That's the rod pressure in the shock doing that. Take the shock off and run the adjuster nut down until you have the same left rear bite numbers.

I don't think I could crank that much into shock nut to do that, already using channel lock to get this far, also these numbers are with driver in car

[hucktyson]

The theory behind removing the traction shock is that even with no rebound valving the shock still has seal drag and friction from the piston moving through the oil that generates drag and slows the rotation of the birdcage. Delaying the car reaching maximum hike reduces available instant traction. If you remove the traction shock and don't add wedge to the car to get back
To the same scale numbers I can't see it having a benefit. If your car doesn't hike down on entry it means nothing anyway ...

Is it common to have to use something to crank that much LR into car to keep everything else correct?

I've found this to help:

But cover them up best you can when washing or they start to rust.

I have been using the Coleman spring spacers for years. They come in 1", 2", and 3' and are billet alum. I got tired of bustin my knuckles on those lr's.

How do the " spring spacers " stop you from busting your knuckles ?

Can someone explain the chaining of RR, and the effects of it? Thanks

[7uptruckracer]

Limits dynamic upper bar angle on hike up so its has the effect of a bar angle hole change BUT being you can keep your settings when you go into compression like on corner entry you keep all your rear steer is the abbreviated explanation

[powerslide]

RSS what kind of car do you have? Most cars come off the spring unless you are running under a 150. How much drop are you running in the LR?

7up,

Am I understanding it right when you say chaining the RR, limits LR hike???

[stock car driver]

limits rr hike.. when you have xxx angle in your rr bars your rr does hike up some, when it does that you are losing some drive. I don't think it hikes up much under normal settings. mine at least never seems to hit the rr chain with even a inch of slack in it, I have to pretty much go snug at ride height to feel it working.

Ive found chaining my rr to be effective on smooth tracks only, dreadful bad on heavy or if you bang up on the cushion.

[HuckleberryB4]

That all makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

[7uptruckracer]

No RR Chain would limit RR hike.... limiting RR bar angle gain would tighten the car on exit

I don't have to crank down on the lr to set the ride height. I only use the 1" in the lr. Most chassis builders don't give a ride height for lr, but I like to keep it within reason. I have used the 2" on other corners for other reasons.
