Tein shortening stroke

[Topher88]

So in getting my super streets re valved to 12kg front and it was recommended to me to shorten the stroke. What all does that do?

im assuming u are upgrading to stiffer springs
but to answer ur question shortening the stroke is the same as shortening the travel in the piston or shock

 

[Topher88]

So does that mean I can go lower and not bottom out the shock?

 

[Topher88]

If so any recommendation on how much to shorten it? I'm going with 12kg In the front

is your car same height as it is in your members ride?
it will allow you to go lower but that depends if they shorten the shock body also
has your car ever bottomed out ? like your upper control arms?

if you are slammed your going to bottom out no matter how good your setup is. but doing that to your shocks will help a little bit, also, your spring rate plays into it as well.. if you shorten the shocks, your gonna need stiffer springs.

Wow Chris, I would think you had them rebuilt by now haha.

OP is someone doing this professionally? or are you doing it?

I believe he's sending it out to Tein here in Cali.
