Ok, I'm still not convinced the shock package is the problem. I'm still thinking its something on the setup of the gear. You mentioned you saw 1000lbs on the LF when it was on the scales. That would lead me to believe the preload and shock height might be really off on the RR. That's just entirely too much weight on that corner. As a guess, I'd say thats around 100-150lbs too much.

Oh you were definately right about my setup being **** lol. Biggest problem was that i set my shockheight/ spring preload wrong and had very little suspension droop on the RR. I had maybe 1" of droop if that at all. With some guidance from terrasmak, i reset the shock height and preload and i now have a little more than 3" of droop and i no longer lift the RR wheel in corners (probably should have said that earlier lol woops) Next in my plans for suspension are adjustable endlinks and a corner balance. Maybe go to a 250lbs spring from a 300lbs spring in the rear as well.

We only started talking about the total travel of the coilovers because the thread sort've became a ksport bashing thread lol.
