Quote: Why make em longer ? Bigtime and a few others prove the system works..only upgrade is put a better coil over in.
Because not everybody has a 2500 hp car like bigtime. A slower car like 10.50-11.50 would like a little more pitch rotation to get it planted. Only the high hp car like limited travel. Unless your a four link or ladder bar car, then you also don't mind the little travel.
This was my thinking exactly...My car is not that fast yet, so I figured it might be beneficial to be able to get a longer shock in the front for front end extension purposes in order to plant the tire.
To be honest, I am not sure really at all what is ideal for front shock length and how it plays a role in the overall suspension setup on a drag car. On the rear I understand, but the front is never talked about as much so it seems- as long as guys have front end separation from their shocks it seems thats all that matters.
the ideal shock length for a given front suspension is a shock that will have enough travel to let the suspension use all of its travel. A great properly valved shock will also negate the need for a suspension travel limiter.
