Robi has custom mounts for both the front and rear that allows for the same shock travel as a stock height car, and they are all available for sale through him. Contact @robispec directly for more info.

We run really high spring rates which reduces the amount of compression travel needed. Two different solutions to the same problem, although Robi's is far more elegant.


Need more low?

Your tires are listed as fitting on up to a 8.5" wheel and working best on a 7.5. Is there a reason for the stretch onto a 9" rim?

The wider a rim is for a given tire width the better control you have the tread area. You pay a weight penalty but if you have a lot of High G cornering it makes up for it easily.

Spring perch is directly incorporated in the solution.
Spring perch Machined in the end is for or 60 mm spring.
A plastic spring isolator can also be installed for different different spring diameters.
