LR spring rates

[outlaw4j]

Soft LR was really good off throttle, how so?

always turned.

where as with the 200# in there if you are on throttle and have to get out of the gas it tends to get tight

when we had the 150# in there it could go either way

So where did you end up?

Also were all 3 springs ran with the same droop / extended load?

Slider or Coil Over behind?

Started messing with a Coil over behind, really makes better traction, but entry is tougher. Then i remembered this post, and thought you must be on a Coil Over as well.

The rough part about the rear coilover is so little shock movement vs wheel movement. Sure, you can make it stiff, but if it's barely moving, it can't do much. At max hike, when you need it to catch the car as you slow, it's practically at a dwell point.

we run a wissota bmod so are 3 link, and springs have to be the same position each side. so we run springs in front shocks behind. we have also ran on coilovers in front (is very sensitive, but makes tons of traction as well).

we have a deck height max we have to make so it makes the LR a bit tricky for the loads. you can load the heck out of a 100# and still make deck height and can barely load a 200# at all.

After all the testing and messing around, we ended up back on a 150# with about 1/2" of preload at droop. We did chain down a bit and are at 4" drop now.

One of the things we did do however which seems opposite yet to me is we went up on the chassis side jbar quite a bit. IDK but it seemed like the car was easier to keep up and gets through the entry and middle so much better now. We tried this first when we had the 200# in as we were looking for some more drive, and have kept it now and really like

Gotcha, on a 3 Link Ive never messed with one. We are 4 Bar, Coilover or Slider Behind (Spring Behind).

We are fighting what MBR said above, Zero Indexing helps but without enough load in the spring its hard to keep the car up on corner entry.
