I got a Chubby today.

very cool ron!!! now maybe when you are doing parking lot exhibitions, you might not get so close to hitting the curbs now...... lol

 

Ron, why did you get the adjustables? What "setting" would the non-adjustable ones equal to?

I am looking at them now...

 

Ryan suggested the adjustable for different driving habits... I will be testing the three settings in the months to come....


You should really ask Stack the other question... haha

 

I was thinking, these may be great for the 1/4 mile, set up loose in the rear for weight transfer and better 60' times. Just unbolt the front for lift.

 

my thought as well, Kyle.

 

Ummm... They don't do anything straight line. And as far as lift in the front you should have 5 or 6" of travel up or down from neutral?

 

Whaddya mean, different driving habits? Is that like when you are smoking and driving? Or maybe chewing finernails and driving?

Most peeps don't vary much...I am seriously looking at the non-adj ones.

I'll watch how you like the ones you have Ron. (....a-doo-ron-ron-ron..aA-doo-ron-ron) Cool how you have never heard that before, huh

 

It's not like most people would change it every now and again like stiffer for this track and looser for that track. You most likely would set it the way you want it the first time and leave it. I guess some people might want a bit more roll than others.

 

You may have that much, but it's under resistance, and take a longer time to be generated than by unbloting the un sprung weight up front and lessen the un sprung weight in rear (set up loose) for a quicker weight transfer. I wouldn't say they don't do anything for straight line performance.

 

errr... let's talk about this.

It *shouldn't* be under resistance. If it is you need to lube your bushings. Even if your bushings are dry and squeaking it isn't that much resistance.

It is not unsprung weight (unless you are going to remove your links). The weight of the bar is supported by the bushings bolted to the frame.

They *shouldn't* do anything for straight line. If they do then you have problems at the bushings. Sways only function when you twist the bar.

(ok, I'll qualify that last statement. If you're running over something like a washboard road where you're going to be hitting bumps or dips with one side and not the other then they would have an effect. That shouldn't be the case at the strip.)
