true rear coil-over: possible?

[RyanDavies]

I have a far preferable contact for JRZ information that'll get responses way faster than Bryan Hise at JRZ USA.

JRZ west coast is far preferable, but Brian Karwan at Karcepts is *the man* for JRZs.

Divorced setup is technically superior as it minimizes bending loads (and resultant friction/hysteresis) in the shock

I would agree if the shock and spring had the same motion ratio.

I'd take the trade off for a spring that was functionally linear. The rear does not operate linearly from the factory, in that location. A coaxial spring would be preferable. In practice, it's largely irrelevant for most folks on here. That also said, acquiring used springs for testing would be easier on a damper mounted spring, since it would be more in line with springs and lengths commonly available on the used market.

turb0mik3 . He has custom JRZ with rear coil over conversion. Was surprised how soft of a rear spring rate he was running.

I am running a rear coilover JRZ 11 32. I have the Rogue Engineering rear linkage and a 60mm spring clears the upper link by a couple mm's. It is doable, just have to make sure it will fit. I love them but haven't had many test days do to overheating, haha.

It's pretty easy to win Pros with a half second advantage leaving the tree.

Enjoy driving an STR S2000 with a higher rear NF than front. You'll die, so what kind of flowers do you want at your funeral?

Wasn't this years STX champion Brian in an FRS with suspension tuned by fat cat motorsports? They did a few videos of his STX setup and they maintained a flat ride from what I saw. I could be wrong though.
