No problem Ben, that's why I do these threads...to share with others about what we've done and plan on doing and to share how it's worked.

Before we started, my front shocks had about 1/2" of compression travel before bottoming out, static fender height was 25.5". One of the first things Ron had me do was put zip ties on the shock shafts and make a few autocross runs to see how far the suspension was traveling. That was eye opening and started us on this journey of making the suspension travel more to obtain the handling we wanted. A suspension bottomed out on the shock body in a turn is not what you want, trust me on this.

We now have enough travel built into the car that under full bump the fender height is 23.25" and full extension is 27.25" (this extension measurement was done before the longer Ridetech Shocks and LCAs were added and may be even higher now) and we have the current ride height set at 26.25" (25.5" tall 275/40/17 tires). We have the 3.6" travel Ridetech shocks on the front and they bottom out at the same time the tie rod ends hit the frame and sway bar (all at the same time). I don't have the exact shock travel numbers with the Ridetech shocks here at work, but you can see we are traveling the front suspension a LOT for a G-body. It took work to get that all to play nice together, but it is certainly worth it with the way the car turns in now.
