[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 593408, member: 13810"] That's exactly right, I've got very little adjustment left and on full drop I'm only just loading the spring. If you want that extra inch then you are going to have to use either lower profile tyres because any more than what we've mostly done will have you bottoming out regular or now we're getting into tubs and stuff, then notching etc etc etc. I've just measured from my tyre top to the tub is 2" just onsid the arch but three inches directly above the centre of the tyre into the seat tub. So you could squeeze another Inch by taking the edge of the tub out just where you the tyre hits and mine hits just halfway through this section. So we got 2"" of suspension travel left and that ain't much. So tubs or lower tyres for a bit more between a half and a full inch. Theoretically we could go eight and a half and a two hundred pound spring but then there would be little to next to none in the way of suspension and what little there is would firstly be mounted and stressed directly initiated through the shock towers which is less than ideal. :mrgreen: Ozziedog,,,,,,,, go and chat to Graham :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
