Hey S/W!
I need some help tweaking my suspension so i can bring my ride height down some more.
So the issue is i seem to be getting more suspension travel then i desire which is making it difficult to get flush fitment.
Videos below loosely shows the issue, when hitting even mild bumps i seem to be getting roughly an inch or more travel. This is especially noticeable in the second video of the front wheel
I live in Calgary and this video doesn't do justice to how shitty the roads can be here, that being said the set up i'm currently using is Bilstein HD struts with Swift 14k (800ftlb) and 12k (700ftlb) springs. I thought with that stiff of springs combined with a car that tips the scales at 2200lb, i would be driving in a go-kart (aka no suspension haha).
What can i do to decrease suspension travel?
Currently the springs are not preloaded other than with the weight of the car, would preloading the spring help?
Rear wheel (jump to 0:20 seconds and watch from there)
Front wheel
