Limiting straps

[frosty]

Anyone know anything about EMPI limit straps other than they seem to be used by the dune buggy crowd?

I got a pair that I plan on running but didnt know what they were till they showed up. Double wrapped it appears.

Anyone have any actual stretch info on straps? D60 or equivalent weight rear and 37s? I've seen numbers on Pirate but looking for anyone here that might have first hand knowledge.

Sweet. You do the research and report back. :D I have to get some in the next three weeks or so too.

:lol: If you plan on racing I'd probably go for quad wrapped straps. Granted you'll pay more for one strap than the pair of these cost. I would expect the quad wrap to hold up better and stretch less.

Usually about 1" per 12" of strap is the number I've seen but no reference to that being double or quad wrapped. So that means I need to shorten mine up more than my original measurement to allow for stretch.

Mounting angles are key as well.

Give Poly Performance a call. They were pretty good with the strech %'s when I talked to them about ordering some for my buggy.

Expect a full 1". I doubled my PRP's for the front. They are 36" all the way around.

Double or quad wrapped?

quad. I always limited the suspension setting everything up to 2". 1" to stretch, 1" to be safe.
