what is the advantage of having stroke adjustment rather than just height adjustment of the spings? on A&J's site (http://www.aj-racing.com/buddy/rsdamper.htm) is that bottom perch the stroke adjustment?

please post reviews for those who have them... ride, handling, noises, ease of install/adj... thanks

Bump, I'm not sure my explanation is correct, I'm sure someone can explain it- I saw some in the Classifieds section for a pretty decent price too

 

Ajustable stroke = adjuatable shock length.

 

I ran/raced these this year and will swear by them.

you can adjust your height via the bottom mount then adjust the stroke via the spring perch.

 

show kaa......

 

This is the ITR forum... sissy pants!

 

OTS rates? or is that classified info?

 

8,12 and 14 kg/mm


you figure out where each was......

 

LOL!
... really depends on whether you're running synthetic blinker fluid.

 

I will guess:
8k on Passenger Rear
12k on Driver Rear
14k on Passenger Front
8k on Driver Front

sound logical?

 

I don't think you want a widely split 14k-8K bias on the front.
After all, Jack's not that heavy.

 

I will swear by them also. Nothing less!

 

Which is why I am going to get them for the Hatchcrap!

 

whats the advantage of having adj stroke as compared to adj height?

 

you don't raise and lower the car with the spring, you lower it using the lower part of the coilover(the mount). This way you can adjust the ride height without sacrificing suspension travel.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH... that makes so much more sense now... but the springs look like thy are hight adjustable aslo... right?

 

Yes, but that is so you can preload the spring.
