What would this shock set-up be called?
 

I've been reading a lot about "droop" set-ups and internally sprung set-ups, but what would it be called if you had both?

I have my shocks with a soft spring under the piston (droop) and a medium spring over the piston (internally sprung) with the springs coming from a 1/24th Radline shock upgrade I already had.

With it this way, it has characteristics of both droop and internal spring set-ups. The piston is centered, and allows travel in both directions. I'd hate to have to call it "half-droop-half-internally-sprung" everytime though.

Also, I hate the term "droop" it reminds me of melting plastic or old lady boobs.

I know I am probably not the first to set it up this way, but I think it will work for me (still tuning oil weights...) just gotta find a cool name for it.
Maybe "CP" for centered piston, or "Halfie" or "Hybrid" or even "Fiddy"?

Opinions?

I think here, it's referred to as semi-droop.

Sounds flacid to me.

I like Halfie way better than semi-droop. Semi-droop sounds like an old man with performance issues. I thought semi-droop was where there's an external spring involved?

Instead of droop, how about 'low rider'...

Hola Vato! :D

im doin the same, plus 1 spring pushin the shock body up on the outside.

i call it fidyfidy sprung lol

We called it 50/50 a few years ago. I ran a TLT set up like that and it took some time to get the link geometry and spring rates all worked out, but when it finally hit that magic spot, it was nice. Then along came the Axial and I threw my TLT into a pile.

(Not to be confused with the 50/50 or 60/40 link length set ups.)

I've always called them 'Hybrids'. I've used them off and on for the last 2 years. I just never seem to make up my mind about droop or sprung so I split the difference.

Well, there doesn't seem to be a clear answer, the closest being semi-droop maybe?
I'm just going to call it a "Halfie" set-up.

I like it becuase at rest the GC is about 2 5/8ish, and at full extension I've got about 3 3/4" clearance. I can get about 80* articulation, the COG is still within the profile of the tires and it handles fairly predictably. I may end up flipping the medium and soft springs around on the torque sides of the axles (front right, left rear) to see if that does anything to the torque twist.

I run two internal springs. One over the piston and one under. I call it half sprung.

I am running the same set up with a droop spring and an outer spring.I like Halfie.

I run semi droop on my MRC.

i ran inner and outer spings for a 50/50 type setup on a blackjack for a long time and i loved it. once you get the spring rates and oil figured out they're really nice.

I run "semi-droop" on all my crawler shocks.... I run standard external springs and lighter internal springs under the piston. (About 75/25)(compression/droop)
Excellent setup, I would not run crawler shocks any other way.:)

i call it:

"not quite full droop because it has one of those springy things on the top and bottom of that circle thing w/ 1, 2, or 3 holes, but somtimes 4" :lol:

actually im w/ eeepee i also tend to call it a 50/50 shock setup. i usually don't give exact ratios as to not give too much info away
