OK I was looking through the images from AAA Speedway at the Redling time attack and found a GREAT sequence shot by CALLI photography

Car is still under trail braking going right


Car is now transfering weight to the rear due to adding throttle



Car caught in the exact middle of the right to left transission and a touch of the brake



Trailing throttle and right turn-in weight transfer to outside right corner



Using the curb (still climbing)to cut down the radius of the corner and position the car for the next left hander



just after the peak of the curb note inside front tire still planted



Midway down the backside of the curb front still planted suspension extending

We have a VERY aggerssive rebound speed set into these "Robispec'd" KW's



Front effectively off the curb the tire has never left the ground!

Also note in the last 3 images the car body roll angle has stayed the same (within 1/2 degree)

This is while riding up and over a 6" curb.

This set of Robispec'r KW's has 3" bump and 3"+ droop travel



At full throttle chassis has never lost its "set" (gotten upset) going over the curb to place the car better for the next corner




Thats why Double Adjustable (2 way) long travel suspensions with independant compression and rebound valves ride great on the street while not embarrassing you at the track . I love my Modified KW's
