when are Coil overs fully compressed?

AIbandit · Feb 14, 2014

This is probably pretty simple Will the coil over shaft go entirely inside the body?

I just read billavista's coilover bible and I didn't see it, probably because it's obvious. I just want to make sure my bumps are set right.

It probably varies a bit from manufacturer. I have Fox shocks. They include a small hard rubber bumpstop at the end of the shaft so technically the entire shaft does not go into the shock body, however their stated compressed length is accurate.

Does that help?

yes, they bottom out externally, not internally. so you won't see any shaft showing.

it's also a good idea to keep them from doing that lol

Perfect that's exactly what I was thinking about, though maybe not accurately articulating it.

That's the plan now I just have to find out how far daystar 3" "comp style" bumpstops compress.

Thanks gents.
