Bouncing back on this post form the coilover tuning thread:
What is the acceptable sprung / unsprung weight ratio in order to "go fast" but still retain some crawling capabilities ? Basically a fast/comfortable trail rig.
Does going on a trailing arm set up change this ratio (IE let's you go faster with a low sprung/unsprung ratio vs a 1:1 motion ratio car)?
I'll post here DesertCJ jeep (Hope he doesn't mind) since this is the object of the quote above :
Here is my personal rig, with a similar issue, but I have trailing arms and bypasses :
it is not the setup up that is causing the buck, it is the fact that hes got 40s, attached to a 60, pushing against almost no weight above it. he needs more weight if he wants go fast.
