Rear coilovers
Don,
About two years ago I purchased the upgraded front control arms and four corner coilovers from you for my Cobra. When I installed the rear shocks, the rear of the car was supported by the frame, so the shocks themselves was holding the rear axle. I turned the shock spring adjuster upward (tighter) until the looseness was gone. After lowering the car to the ground, I noticed the car had a rear high attitude. I left it this way, as I don't want there to be any looseness associated with the rear springs when going over hills, bumps, zero g conditions. Just last night I went ahead and pulled some of the adjustment out of the springs to get the ride height leveled out again. Do you have anything, or any suggestions of what I can use to prevent the shocks from extending too far and allowing the springs to get cocked on the shaft, or is this never going to be a problem. It seems that if the shock travel was about two inches shorter, it would be about perfect.
