my current 550's ride to good, lol

im really low and i want to eliminate any possibility of bottoming out. has anyone used 750's up front in a dc. im looking for any input

ill probally put my 550's in the rear or use my old 400's

also, what shocks are you using?

thanks

Pretty much any off the shelf shock will have serious difficulty managing such a stiff spring. If you want it bouncy (underdamped) or are willing to pay for serious race shocks, go for it.

However, if you're still bottoming out with 550s up front, it's well past time to raise the car to a reasonable ride height...

400/400 on my DC2, and going up to 600/550 when I get the chance, but I'm doing it for track use, not to prevent bottoming out.

thanks. i pmd you too






whats the most an off the shelf koni yellow can handle? i may just have to get them re valved





also whats the best adjusment for the konis when riding really low? full stiff?

I'll reply here, just in case it helps anyone else out.

About 550 to 600 lbs/in, if what I have read and been told is true. I have no official documentation to go off of, so treat that as "word of mouth" advice, and not a final answer.

Koni Sport shocks (Yellows) only adjust rebound damping. You can't turn them up to reduce bottoming out, you'd need to increase high speed compression damping for that.

there is no limit on koni sports, just your driving preference. im actually faster in a loose car so i might say 750lb or so up front. the rears aren't valved nearly as tight so maybe 500-550 back there. the highest i could really see going is 600/550 since 750/550 is going to understeer too much for my liking. even at 600 you wouldn't really improve unless you had the tires to make use of it

as for the op. raise your car to a respectable level, ridding with your car on the ground only draws laughter from other drivers.
