Keith;
True, your shocks have very limited travel but racing shocks-- as
opposed to street shocks-- do have the ability to damp small inputs.
Competition shocks from Koni, Bilstein, etc are expensive but they are
designed to do the job on a modern race car with a stiff suspension and
small wheel travel.

Subject: Shock theory...( Dang Goodman )
Okay so John and I are talking yesterday and he asks some silly question
like...
If your shocks are set up like a passenger car... aren't they going to
be
designed around several inches of movement Vs the little .200 or .300
you
have? and he asks... do you think that maybe there is so little action
you
really might not have a dampener assembly at all?....
His answer was a bell crank assembly that could turn my limited movement
into
something that represented real travel on a shock.. which could be
mounted
about anywhere...
Very interesting stuff.
John Goodman is a Very bright man.. especially when it comes to chassis
set
up... ( and piston ring sealing ) but he sure is a pain in the
butt!!!....
teach me to just hand out data like candy....
Keith ( who luv's ya John? )
