With the front of the GT off the ground, should the shock springs have zero tension? Mine do and I was wondering if this was the best set-up.
I weigh 230 and ride aggressive, have rear 5.5 spring in.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

it will use the sway bar faster...but I have mine set at 3/16" preload more then stock.

Spring tension
So should I increase the tension a bit? What can I expect from this?
From another post here I was going to also lift the limiter to the next hole (3) from stock (4). Will thses two changes compliment one another?

I would add 3/16" of preload to the front and dial your transfer rod back at least 2 notches from middle to the min side and give that a try...I really liked how it handled. I woudnt touch the strap...but thats me.

Mr. Sled. I will try your setup this weekend. Do you have any problem getting the rear of the track to break loose in the corners. (pushing) Running pretty high speeds on very hard pack in Canada I had trouble getting the back end to break and come around. Will less transfer help this problem?
