As was said in the process thread - full prep was assumed in the process. To me full IT prep is lower the CG as much as legally possible. If you don't do that, well then it just isn't full IT prep any longer. The easiest way to lower CG is to lower the car to the allowed 5". 5 1/4" or 7" isn't full IT prep and the competitor should not expect to compete against fully prepped cars of the same class if they are not fully prepped. Full IT prep for suspension should have the same principles as a discussion of whether or not an engine and its exhaust have been fully prepped.

We will agree to disagree here. Certain cars can utilize rules/limitations/allowances in different manners. Just because the minimum spec is 5" doesn't mean that it defines 100% IT prep. You lower your application as low as it can go and be fast.

IT engine prep for non-rotories is all equal. Some engines can take advantage of alloances more than others. Does that mean those 'Porsche-type' (factory optimized) engines aren't built to 100% IT-prep?

Some cars have to run higher than others in order to 'work'. There is no way to quantify 1/2 inch. 1 inch, 2 inches more ride height...then compensate for additional shock travel please...

I hear you, but it can't/shouldn't be done.
