[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 16491423, member: 160791"] I have drag raced, road coursed, and drive “spiritedly” on a weekly basis. In an effort to quantify axle movement on my car, I measured my adjustable panhard bar setting at 42” long. Since I am engaging the rear bump stops at 1/2” of rear suspension squat and my car does not nosedive under hard braking, I would generously estimate that my rear suspension travel is +/- 1.0” in either direction. I projected those measurements onto my garage floor to depict axle movement with the rear suspension conditions during hard acceleration and hard braking. Length measurements are to scale, but the arch radius is just for illustration and not to scale. Accounting for the thickness of the lead pencil, there is only 1/16” of axle movement from static ride height to either full suspension compression or extension. There may be additional panhard bar poly bushing deflection allowing a little more shift, but I think it is still negligible. With the new power delivery from my Whipple Gen 4, I needed more rear grip, so I traded some handling performance going from MPSSs to Nittos for straight line traction and safety.
