Does anybody know the cornerweights of an Sport equiped with a good old SBC engine?
I didn't weigh mine before I took it apart. Need to know it to calculate sag and suspension travel.

Sag or also known as droop is the travel the shock has from sitting on the spring on the ground to when you jack it up off the ground.

Hi Joop,
On the rear I've got very short ones, about 5" long with 3-4 revolutions.
The front ones I need to measure.
I just need to find out if I can put extenders in between and how much lift it would give me to overcome a sleeping policeman.
