Hypothetical Question,
Setting the ride height with the grub screws that are on the lower A-arms how much suspension decompression would be normal.
Hypothetically let's say, I have my buggy to sit with the lower arms level, if I don't use the grub screws the suspension decompresses fully (Lots of upward chassis travel).
If I set it up for limited decompression using the grub screws would make the chassis have less upward travel because the grub screws limit the A-arms swing so to speak.
What's better lots of upward chassis travel or minimal chassis upward travel?
Just an example let's say with the car sitting on a table (A- Arms level ride height) and the grub screws set to limit, when I lift the car up the suspension might decompress about 1/16- inch (It takes about a 1/16 inch before the wheels lift off the table) vs IDK 1/2-inch before the wheels lift off the table via un-grubbed screw.
The measurements are only for sake of the question.
And of course, I know I have to have some chassis upward movement/swing, but I don't know what normal would be.
My driving environment won't have any jumps and will be hard pack dirt, high-speed oval running with minimal bumps.
So I'm thinking I don't need a lot of upward movement just enough so the weight of the mass moving upward doesn't bounce/pull the wheels off the ground.
So what is the norm with the grub screws?
Thanks in advance.
I may not be asking this question correctly.
