How about for the rears when I adjust the perch rings down to make it go low?

Correct, if you do that to the back it will loose shock travel. I though you were talking about the front. Your shouldn't have to sacrifice any shock travel in the front though. In the case of the rears, you are decreasing the spring rate when lowering the perches.

How is dumping Racelands different then dumping another coilover? Not trying to flame or defend Raceland just trying to understand the differences.

Racelands lower from spring perches

FF has a lower bracket that lowers the shock body.

Oh okay makes sense. I'm yet to bottom out slammed on racelands though and the roads are ____.

Correct. Lowering racelands causes loss of shock travel. It appears a lot of people who have racelands are getting different results when lowering the car. Some can mini slam it while others can completely dump it.

I've seen pretty much the same results. Examples? Maybe pre/post settling ride height differences but no ones experiencing different final results as to my knowledge at least.

so here is how low my suspension sits...this is maxed out. they sit rite on my tires

Not bad playa...you should remove the two rings from the front and maybe even compress the preload to 7 inches. Also lower the perch rings from the rear. And for sure you will be tucking tire! What are the spec on the rims? Looks like you have some neg camber in th rear.

Yea its koo...I mean in Person it looks a little bit lower then pictures but of course I want to b tucking more.my rims are 18x8 offset 40 is there an easy way to remove the perch? Just cause I'm pretty lazy to take it apart...

unbolt the two big bolts, front sway bar bolt, brake line bolt, than start spinning the bottom part of the coil till it comes off and spin the rings off.

tC-S08

Okay koo I was hoping I could do it that way...did you compress the spring to 7? so are you liking the drop now after customizing your suspension? Do you have a Pix of the whole car with the end results of your drop?

No I haven't yet, but once I do I will post it up in here.

What rates are y'all running the dampers at? Going with 0 being the softest and 32 being the hardest, I have my fronts set at 14 and the rears are at 32. I'm going to pull the interior and adjust the rears, I'm just trying to decide how to set them.

I have v1..so no adjusting for me!

tC-S08

I have the front and back at level 32 cause I like it to b pretty stiff but it got a little more stiffer when I tightened the bolt right below the dampener to eliminate the cracking noise...which I like.

TxtC27

I love having them that stiff for handling, but the roads around here are too ____ty.
