spring and shock behind on 4 bar

[8184]

In general what will moving the shock from in front of the lr birdcage to behind on a coilover do for car handling?

The shock becomes much softer.

[8184]

if it makes the shock much softer, how would that help on dry slick? Grt recommends doing this when the track slicks off and i just cant see how that would help. I've always been taught that you want high compression and low rebound on the left rear, but that's with the shock in front of the birdcage.

I think they are trying to get at is the shock on the rear allows the LR to hike a little easier because the shock is much less effective there.

I wouldn't call the shock softer per say, but the shaft travel is reduced to very little so I'd call it much less effective but
MSR is on target.

Less Lr shock means more drive. Means it's a pain in the asssss In traffic too

so i take it by the pain in the asss comment that this setup wold not be ideal for stop and go tracks but would work good if you can carry some speed into the corners.

[Dirt_Buster]

Stop and go I like a 3-5 or 3-6 rf or a digressive shock with good bleed for he low speed . That's if diamonding corner and dry! Lr 7-3 150-170psi if up front and 8-2 200 in traffic for dry. 9-2 tacky and 250-300 psi

I know it tightened our mod up a ton very hard to drive.

[powerslide]

Yep its junk I wouldn't even try it.

That's what I would tell my competitors.

On a really dry slick track it gives you way more drive from the center off. I found that you have to loosen car up a little and get used to backing out of the throttle very slowly and only part way so the car doesn't slam down and upset your corner entry. JMO

I'm with MBR on this one. Tell all your competitors it's a junk deal.

[oldtrackchamp4x]

Oh yea, I forgot to add that. LOL . JMO

Skip ARP would say otherwise since 1997.
