buZy Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Ok I have been hearing on Hybrid Z about Illumina struts destroying from springs rates exceeding over 250 - 300 lbs?? I have been thinking about this trying to figure it out. I don't see how it is even possible given the weight of an average Z and typical suspension movement. Can someone explain it? I'll sit back and listen thanks. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've had Illumina's blown out on an old ITS car with 240lb/in springs on it. I suspect the mode of failure is the valve stack can't keep up with the rebound forces caused by higher rate springs and they fatigue.
