[QUOTE="Elliott, post: 389596, member: 1090"] [b]Re: Coil overs or not ?[/b] No, not eliminate the dual rate, of course you need the dual spring setup, but if you limit the travel of the top spring what are you really accomplishing? The springs when they compress build pressure which overcome each other (when the top spring collapses so does the bottom, just not at the same rate) The top spring will collapse way before the bottom, but if you limit the travel of the top spring and not let it compress the lower spring gradually then when it hits the stop it starts compressing the lower spring at the same time of a sudden slammed stop from the top, Kinda like smacking the lower spring with a hammer and compressing it in the middle of doing so. My theory is you need to smoothly compress both springs at the same time to keep it from having a sudden jolt to the shock, and it makes diagnosing shock valving a lot easier due to not feeling sudden hits from the stops hitting.
