Turbo ra28- u say that u moved ur shock mount lower, does that mean that the shock is at full extension before the spring???? if so that is very bad. u could wreck ur shox Rolling Eyes Instead of using ur shok as a retainer for the springs u should get some retension straps which will b very cheap and u won't damage ur shox.


what keeps a spring captive if not for the shock? (LOL at shox.. reminds me of shazza and dazza Laughing ).
the only thing that limits the full droop travel of either front or rear suspension is the shock.
droop straps, are not exactly the best idea since you will suddenly change the rate of the suspension (well.. i guess so would a shock when it reaches full travel)

anyway, a car with straps to limit suspension movement will look like the car to the left, when it hits a bump or a curb Wink
