Ok, it'll vary depending on your tire size and gear ratios, but the point is the same. You'll be getting into them in a low speed, tight corner.If I realistically had any 2nd gear corners . . . gearing, rpm limits, and tire size are such that on a traffic-free lap I'd only get about 7 mph and 750 rpm worth of 2nd anywhere.
Not very accurate and you're probably getting into the stops a lot more than you realize. Sitting on the stops when accelerating out of a corner does not have to be 'harsh', but it will increase the effective rate and hurt rear grip.Harshness of the buzz is my indication of getting any b/s contact at all.
Hard to say whether I'm getting contact, or how much if/when I am. What I do know is that any contact isn't hard enough to upset the chassis. Keep in mind that I've only got 315HP, 325 ft*lbs, and 3rd gear to work with here.
Removing the axle mounted bump stops wouldn't hurt the konis. I'm pretty confident they wouldn't bottom out before the axle does into the framerail. But it's your car. Do what you want.Should I get to the point where I can feel that the bump stops are holding me back - I think I'll be able to figure out how to recognize this - that's when I'll consider doing something about it. More than likely, that'll take the form of trimming another fraction of an inch off each b/s and maybe grinding the holes in the middle a little more. I might shim the rear springs up another 1/8" or possibly 1/4". What I really don't want to do is anything that would remove all protection against bottoming the Koni yellows out.
Not sure what that means.My car LIFTS in the rear off the line.
From what point of reference? Upward angle going from front to back (front chassis mount lower than axle mount) or vice versa?You can still SEE the upward angle on the LCA in the pictures I posted. Driving the Boss (stock suspension) -2.2º LCA and GT back to back help me feel the difference. The GT is over 100% AS.
