Bump Springs

Bump Springs are used in conjunction with a primary spring to allow a race car to have a relatively soft / compliant initial spring rate to get down to the desired optimum ride height and then pick up the rate of the bump spring to achieve a constant / optimum dynamic ride height.

Key Benefits of Bump Springs

More usable deflection
2% rate linearity tolerance from 20% to 60% of deflection
4% rate linearity tolerance from 61% to 80% of deflection
Designed to fit standard hardware
Maintain free length and rate throughout a near infinite operational life

MATERIAL:
Hypercoils are manufactured from the highest quality chrome silicone steel and high tensile chrome silicone steel available in the world.

DESIGN:
The life of a suspension coil is directly related to the design and materials used. Hypercoils are designed to be as light as possible with maximum deflection and at the same time endure the stresses of the extreme conditions common to motor racing. Because raw materials are ordered in mill-runs and not ordered from a mill's regular inventory we are not constrained to designing from stock wire sizes. Having a larger range of wire sizes available allows our engineers to be design specific for each application. Hypercoils are designed and manufactured to retain their rate and free length for several seasons. A properly designed and manufactured spring will not lose free length under normal racing applications.
