that looked pretty controlled/smooth

coilovers wont change much, but it will allow you to put really soft or hard springs in so it will bounve all over the place or ground out and be crap

anyway i hope that chassis is strengthend to take that stupid punishment.

ps lay off the drugs

that snap noise was the manifold snaping on the weld but all fixed now! i just thought with coil over i could get more height as wheels dont drop? right or wrong?

umm you wont get any "higher off the ground" unless you prehaps fitted stiffer springs, but your landing will suffer.

do you only drive over that bridge? otherwise why care about getting airbourn

and the wheels will still drop, its just a matter of how long the shocker piston is and maybe if you have adjustable rebound to slow the slow valve down. but yoru paying mega bucks for 4 way adjustable shocks



again lay off the drugs! lol

What about some sort of pneumatic ram system for a Power Boost?

i think the angle of that takeoff is out by a one or two degrees. If i were you id recheck your calculations, as im sure it should be steeper

well fair play if your into doing that in your car,but i would rather spend good money on moding the car then track racing it,just what i would do..
