hey I'm the guy that bought that PRO3 suspension with limiting straps in the rear. Haven't installed the new D/As yet, waiting on springs, anyone have pictures of where the rear limiting straps would be clipped-on/mounted to? The bottom part looks self-explanatory, not sure about where it clips onto.
I saw a guy selling some GC Coils from his Pro3 car recently that came with some limiting straps. I assume its so the rear springs don't go flying if the car sees full lift in the rear during track use.
It got me thinking - that might me a semi-necessary piece of equipment for track use.
Anyone using such pieces? Where did you get them? Are they necessary?
Do you jump your car? you're not going to completely unload the rear springs and get full droop.
they're for when you jack it up and the springs come out of the seats, making it a pain in the ass to set it back down. but race shocks have such high rebound that it's unlikely the spring come out out on the road.
heck, with the new Bilsteins I have, I can jack up both rears at the same time and it doesn't unload the rear suspension much; the shocks themselves keep the springs in their perches. With my Konis I had to do one side at a time or play games while lowering the car and sticking my arms in places I'd rather not.
I made some when I had my car lowered on GC's. I used nylon straps and drillled them into the tabs on the srping perch and subframe. took me 15min and looked decent.
