Set them all the way down,...then do your corner weights.Then check your technical notes on the circuit you will be racing at or the circuit you will be testing at.Adjust the whole suspension to the tech notes from your last race meeting.Redo corner weights.Do 5 laps setting in.Check all measurements.Do 8 laps race pace.Adjust settings to drivers instructions !!!!!:cheers :evillaugh

Many thanks Era, But my tech notes blew away, so if i set them all the way down can i leave them there as my circuit is the M27 with no speed humps!
If no one can measure from the ground up, is there anyone who could measure from the arch down? Please. i can bring a torch.
cheers Bob

Hi Bob,

Start with 26" at the front and 26.5" at the back, this is from the highest point on the outer wheel arch to the ground.

This will be a starting point but a word of advise, don\'t set the car up higher at the front than the back as it will cause the car to possibly be aerodynamically unstable

Brilliant, many thanks Clive,
Bob
