Hi all,
So im currently building up some new front coilover struts using koni dampers, steel sleeve kit and T3 strut tops.
I just cant see how its possible to get a decently low ride height, and still maintain a decent amount of bump travel.
Conventional suspension setup wisdom says you should have 1/3rd droop, to 2/3rds bump travel.
If i use 8kg/mm (450lb/in) front springs, and assume a front corner weight of 440kg (970lb) it works out like:
440kg/8kg = 55mm of droop travel
55mm * 2 = 110mm of ideal bump travel
55mm + 110mm = 165mm req travel
Its just not possible to get 165mm of travel without making the ride height ridiculously high, or by moving the top of the strut tower upwards.
What have you guys done?
