Nothing crazy, running stock suspension arms with up-rated dampers. Get about 6 inches of shock travel, which after motion ratio adjustments, gives about 8.5" wheel travel up front and 7.5" in the rear if you don't count bump stops, so part of that travel is in the bump stop travel.

There's actually a pretty in depth thread on the rallyanarchy forums where a guy details a civic's suspension travel. It's pretty much the same with small differences on my car.

I just need to hit it faster the next time I run this event. There's a small drop off into the low water bridge crossing. I figure the faster I enter, I'll jump over more water and use my underbody to skip across the water like a stone?

Would be a good troll... Step 1) Get a good 3rd/4th gear run. 2) Drive across your nearest lower water bridge crossing 3)??? 4) Profit!

I also made a quick replacement bumper cover at the first service. I call it the Rally Baby Bieber Bumper cover.

I also need to get in car video up. The river crossing that blew off the bumper wasn't that bad, really wasn't that deep. But there was another where I went through water above the rocker panels and I had a Bellagio fountain come up through the shift boot. I really need to seal that shift boot up...

Holy ****, that's the best screen grab I've ever seen.

Hey, that Bieber tape is expensive. I bought a roll of it for my little sister for Christmas...

Thanks for posting the video Billy. Looked like it got pretty tough after that water crossing with your windshield fogging up.
