How do I choose a coil over shock?

Compare your compressed and extended lengths to the shocks you are considering, make sure you choose shocks with adequate up travel and down travel. If you find yourself wanting more shock travel, consider a trailing arm suspension setup (Coilover mounted to control arm).

Which is better coil over or shocks?

However, coilovers aren’t necessarily a win-win over the factory shock absorbers and struts. They do lower the ride height, so you risk scraping body parts over speed bumps and driveways. And cheap sets don’t offer much damper adjustability, so your ride quality might suffer.

Can you put shocks on a golf cart?

Shock absorbers are an important part on any motorized vehicle, but are especially important if you’re planning to go off-roading or need your golf cart to handle quick turns.

What weight coilovers do I need?

“If you only have the total vehicle weight, you’ll need to split it front/rear. Generically, you’ll call the front weight as 55-percent of the total weight and 45-percent for the rear. If your vehicles front/rear percentage is known, you should use those figures. Take your overall vehicle weight and multiply that by .

What are the advantages of coilovers?

This coil sits on an adjustable perch, giving you the ability to adjust the height of the coilovers. Coilovers also provide a stiffer ride, which lets you lower your car without scraping pavement as you drive. They can also help to mitigate body roll as your vehicle rounds corners.

How can I make my golf cart more stable?

Drop Spindle kits are used to replace and increase the golf cart spindle size and length. This can give your golf cart a wider stance, and increase the stability.

How do you choose coil over spring rate?

Rules of Thumb

  1. Preload. Preload at the coilover should be between ½” and 6” to prevent the springs from coming loose and to ensure proper droop, wheel rate and bottoming control.
  2. Coilover Dual Rate Nuts. In a dual rate coilover setup, the softer spring should not be less than 70% of the stiffer rate.
  3. Longer Lower Springs.
