short stroked ?

rear trailing arm and torsion beam which has a separate coil spring and absorber setup, the spring tends to sag when the suspension drops... how much the arm drops depends on the length of the absorber... if u have a short stroked absorber, its fine because the drop is not significant... but if u have a normal stroke absorber, u have to becareful if the spring might just drop out of the seats... yes, a fairly shortened spring can drop out when the arm drops too low... this is what exactly happen to my current myvi rear spring + HWL absorber setup... when the car is jacked up, the rear trailing arm drops and the spring can be easily removed from the spring seat... this is very dangerous as the car hops over bumps, the spring might drop out and hit other cars... apparently this problem was also faced by our early batu tiga super saga racers... what they did was to tie a belt around the arm to the chassis so it does not sag that much... it was a crude but effective method... so, here is an innovation of their creation...

its kind of noisy when the suspension hops around... so if u can find a thicker and beefier belt or strap is much better...
