I'm not going to keep harping on about this Rolling Eyes

I guess the actual point of what I'm saying is that you can't adjust the height without inadvertently adjusting the "home" position of the shock in these sorts of setups...

ahh i see what you are harping on about Wink

yes the positioning of the short stroke shock within the strut, RELATIVE to the position of the new ride height, is pf UTMOST IMPORTANCE, and is why most ppl fuckup...

it's all well and good to have a short stroke shock, but most ppl don't realise this will limit their suspension movement to about 60mm bump and 40mm droop... which is basically 3/5ths of fuckall in a road car.

if you then sayy, position the shock 30mm too low, you suddenly have 30mm bump.. and that's baaaad mmkay..

yes it will pick up the inside tyre easier, but thats kinda what it does...

a question i have to add to this sorry for high jacking is short stroke ??? can you make any struts into these or only some types and so on ??? and i was told that struts like koni and kyb and so on can only surport so much like cant get rates like 12kg front 10rear so on this true ??

short stroke shock= the shock has a shorter stroke than normal.

strut has little to do with the shocks stroke, except for where you position the shock inside the strut tube.
wtf? why not just get a 40kg spring instead and do away with the shock.
