Its pretty possible. I trapped 109.7 on the stock head and stock cams, bit on street tires. It's on a catted DP and stock catback though now. The red car will probably just get kicked off the track for no cage lol

I know most of you are on coils...I've got my ksports set to full low in the rear with no lock rings. I just noticed that my rear shocks are fully compressed when its sitting on the ground. Is this right?

yeah because i don't think the Ksport rear shocks are adjustable so there is nothing you can do about that.

I just wanted to make sure...I've never had a car this lowered...only really dealt in lowered trucks so when I saw the shock was fully compressed I just wanted to question. This is also the first time I've worked with coilovers...sorry for the stupid questions I just wanted to make sure I wasn't breaking something.

This is a prime example of improper suspension travel/adjustment/setup.

Going low is cool, but having zero travel and no rebound isn't and is in fact very dangerous as your car could skip and put you into a ditch.

Pics of shock if you can sneak one through the rear wheel?

its normal ksport activity. the rear springs are 4k and the shocks arent adjustable length wise to set any preload.

i have had the ring spun all the way down, no problem. took it in the canyons and on a small go kart track. had less aggressive wheels

now the rings are spun up about an inch in the rear. bounces but its normal bounce

The only way to get any shock back is to bring it back up where it was with the Canucks installed and that means a 2-3 finger gap in the rear...no thanks. I'm thinking about putting the lock rings back in it but again I seriously doubt it's going to make a difference with the shock on the Ksports. I guess I can look into a shorter shock...I don't track the car...it's just my dd.

Pics of what? My rears are set to full low which are causing the rear shocks to fully compress. It's pretty simple. Even raising it an inch I'm pretty sure the rear shocks will stay compressed. The shocks are the same size as the factory shocks. I only dropped the rear about 1" more than the canucks.
