How thick are the spacers that SLP installed on the SS cars?

And because of their location, one would have to raise the rear of the car MORE than the thickness of the spacer to maintain the same travel as before the spacer. Isn't that correct?

The stock bumpstop is fairly close to the wheel. You will get a little more travel at the outer edge of the tire in roll, but assuming the PHR and roll center is roughly on the same level as the axle, the outer edge travel will be roughly (travel at bumpstop)*(distance from outer face of tire to center of pumpkin)/(distance from bumpstop to center of pumpkin).


Lonnie, if you have to raise the tail of the car 1/2" to clear the 335s, it doesn't seem like that great an idea. You're going to raise the CG and (ignoring whatever other plans you have) the roll center. Even if you fix the roll center, raising the CG will probably cancel out most of the advantage of the wider tires.

Thanks. Looks like I have some measuring to do.

Sean if I raise the car up 1/2" ('maybe' less) I will still be slightly lower than stock. And my rear control arm angles will be "better". Roll center isn't a big deal. As next year progresses I'll look into the PHR brackets more and more. They ARE in my future.


The more I think about the things my car did, and what I would like to change, I'm about 98% confident the car will be faster. I know I will be faster in it. But am 98% sure it'll be faster regardless who is driving.

The other 2% of question is because of the added width.

Regarding the load transfer aspect of the higher C/G height, I would think that the extra 1-1/4" width on each side would cancel that out...???
