Extended shock towers to Increase travel
As was mentioned earlier, has anyone experimented with raising the shock tower therby increasing the shock travel by an equal amount? I have seen this on a custom rally car, and a previous post mentioned elevated strut bearings from Ground Control. I have checked Ground Control's site and they do not make an elevated strut bearing. Their xi camber plate does not appear to have this feature either.
It looks like this may be a custom modification and, while in a structurally important area, not impossible to do. I think an additional 1-1.5" of travel could be achieved before hitting the hood. I would use Carbon fibre and epoxy, but a welded steel solution would be equally good.
What is the difference in suspension travel between the xi and the rwd front suspensions? Would we then use rwd front shocks or are there other differences?
I currently use the ST-X coil overs which I am very happy with, but additional suspension travel is always nice.
Any comments?
