Does anyone have an opinion on whether a racer will be able to use droop stops or limits on the 3" pucks?...........davewilson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Louis A.

Don't have the original wording on the "why" for longer pucks but didn't it have something to do suspension repeatability or better set up. Seems to me if we're expecting more travel (softer ride) without a rebound mechanism more wheel bouncie, bouncie follows...and that isn't a good thing. I guess I don't understand "how" the longer rubbers will impact/change suspension movement...like make the car handle better. Jay can you throw out some engineering on this subject? Also (for Jay) not all cars use the same kind of rubber material. Will Jay's testing results be applicable to us natural rubber racers? As far as increasing class size by telling people we have longer rubbers. Ahhh, I'm not so sure that's really a good selling point.
