Rear suspension travel limiters.

I've read several threads about "rear axle limit traps" , "mechanical stops", etc. and under stand they are required in 356's on the track.

I realize they reduce the axle lift and advance the breakaway point so that you can get deeper into a corner with a rear engined car.

My question is, "Is there any reason or possible benefit from limiting axle travel in a Beck 550???".

I've got some ideas on how to do it, but if it makes the car unsafe, whats the point??

Any and all input appreciated.....

Thanks in advance....

I was considering the same for my Beck but have not moved on it yet. In looking at some original Spyder pics I have noticed short horozontal tubes welded to the upper portion of the vertical tube the top of teh shock is mounted to. These appear to have something to the effect of a rubber "snubber" on the underside to limit upward axle travel. Sort of the opposite of what we are talking about here, but related nonetheless. Wonder if you could do the reverse to limit downward travel by mounting the rubber "snubber" on the frame tube?

Not much realestate between axle tube and frame member.....

My plan involves a couple of Chevy S-10 rear axle snubbers, with shortened height, and some 3" muffler clamps, for retention.....

Aiming at a 1" gap with settled suspension,and neutral camber.
