| In racing, tire
grip and low wear rate are critical for maximum
performance. Unfortunately, one of the common
characteristics of coil springs is that whey do not
naturally distribute their load evenly around the face of
their end coils thus generating a lateral load. The
lateral force creates a bending load in the shock absorber,
significantly increasing its friction; the result is lower
tire grip and increased wear. The Hyperco / ICP
Hydraulic Load Centering Spring Perches substantially
improve performance by allowing the spring forces to remain
centered on the damper. By precise shaping
of the sealing wall of both the perch and cylinder body, the perch and
cylinder body, the perch can freely tilt as needed to evenly
distribute the load over the face of the perch. The result, a
reduction of bending load on the shock absorber of up to 96% along
with an enhancement in mechanical grip at the tire.
These
do make a difference!
There are two types of perches
available for in 1.875, 2.0, 2.25, and 2.5 ID’s., the add-on
and full replacement shocks.
