    Nice to see a vendor having stock of new MY24 suspension

    Do you have any details about the ratio of preload and resulting lift on the MY24?

    As an example, 1" of preload = 1.75" lift (this is what is approximately typical of the 3rd gen).

    So all coilovers have had about the same ratio on adjustment even in cars we use 2 turns for about .5 in on Lambos same as a Tacoma, tundra, and many others. To change the ratio typically the threads and or another related component has to be changed we never focused on that aspect as it has never really been relevant for us to focus on. We also go by turns of the collar to determine how we want the height. as 5-6 is an average an inch. Now as mentioned a few factors can change that but for decades of cars and trucks and coilovers, we have found they are about all the same maybe a 3-5% difference in the ratio.

    It has been mentioned in a ramp travel index test with the new MY24 that the front coil spring motion ratio is differnt that the 3rd gen. Third gen is approximately 1" of preload (or 1" spacer) = aproximately 1.7" of lift.

    With the MY24 using one inch of preload (5-6 turns) what would the amount of lift be?

    This is the video that I alluded to with the difference on the MY24 front suspension (see near 7:45 into the video) (1" preload would equal ~1.4" of lift)??
