4" pretty much suck.Unless they're super-trick flat coil or beehive style that have increased travel.I've got 4" springs on the front of my car,and on bigger bumps they coil bind(an average 4" spring only has like 1.5" or so of travel)and it's like bottoming the shock out,really harsh,instant stop in travel.I'll be going to 5" springs very soon.




*On another note,where in the airport area is there a motorcycle dyno?I was working outside the other day and for about an hour straight all I heard was a sportbike rolling through the gears then doing pulls over and over.I didn't think Star City has one?

The motorcycle shop that used to set at the intersection of 460 and williamson rd had a bike dyno and they took it with them when they moved. I think they moved up to the airport area, I don't remember if that was star city or not.

Yeah,closed.No idea what happened-just went by there one day and it's empty and something(can't remeber if it was the road sign or a sign in the window)said out of business.
