If I'm correct in my theory and the spring can travel say 3" in GPL, then what
will happen with ride height at 1" and bump *** of 1.5" is that the body of
the car will hit the track before the springs bottom out on the bump ***s.
Trips, try this for an experiment; take a setup with minimum ride height and
minimum bump ***, then increase the bump *** until you, hopefully, get
some very strange behaviour from the car. Then you know the car is riding on the
bump ***s.
