At some point you can't walk it. I can only get over really low, wide speed bumps in my T/A. Having to fit an exhaust system sized for a V8 under the car has it's disadvantages.





Negative ghost rider. Just because it rides like a go-kart doesn't mean it handles well. It plays a trick on your mind. The factory suspension travel on a sports car is pretty much spot on from the factory. A shock with more compression and rebound to control that travel is what is ideal, it just rides like shit. For a serious track car you lower for the CG improvement and shorten the shock so suspension travel isn't greatly effected. A factory length shock will ride high in the stroke after the car is lowered which greatly effects it's ability to control compression and rebound.

Think of it like this. The shock controls the spring which controls force applied to the ground(traction.) If you have barely any travel in the spring there is nothing left to control. You are riding on on coil bind under any type of loaded. At that point a hard bump would cause the tire to bounce and you lose all traction.

not sure how low my vette is but im already scraping all over the place, after looking yours seems lower. the z32 is flush and im still lower lol

You look like your lowered on stock bolts. I have no bolt in the front and an aftermarket bolt in the rear. I'm probably an inch lower than you.

But theres a huge difference between making it over speed bumps np than having to walk a speed bump until you can no longer walk it. There's plenty of room in between.

/e pt2 Imo lower = better traction. In my case, less wheel hop.

lol... not sure what I would do without the daily comics in here

lower doesnt mean better traction...
There is no "imo" about it, its physics.
Keeping your tires planted = traction.
While a low CG does help, the suspension travel is pretty crucial.

So in tug of war wouldnt the team that squats lower to the ground have the upper hand? Yes. Why? Physics.

/facepalm

Lol stoners and logic
