Does anyone know what the total suspension travel is for a stock MCS? In particular the travel under compression would be of great interest. Thank you foryour help.

Motor on

 

"not enough"

The stock dampers only have a stroke of about 4". The suspension probably settles at least an inch under the weight of the car, and bump stop is about an inch and a half long. That leaves maybe 2" of compression before the bump stop is really kickin'.

Some of the guys have taken apart their suspension and thought about this a lot more than I have, you might get a more accurate number than that - but I think 2" is a pretty good ballpark number.

 

...and to clarifiy...the stock bumpstop is an active part of the suspension. These do not work soley to keep things from banging into one another.

Roger - you moved in? I lost your number AGAIN!

 

on stock dampers i cant bear to think going any lower than the h-sports.
even with h-sports the stroke is not enough over larger bumps.

another reason why im running 50 profile tires.

 

Yep, pretty much moved in, but not unpacked. What a mess. I'll PM you the contact info...

 

Well, as of last night, My cae - with exception of the Webb Rear swaybar - is now all stock. Suspension travel is again a wonderful thing!

 

^^ going back to the simple times, i see.

i think im going to order me up a FSD in a couple of weeks.
