well its not been tested on the ring yet, but road use im more than happy. still got to play about with the adjusters. you said it was set quite hard i think, i must be used to bone shaking stuff as its actually quite pleasant laugh out loud.
to summarise, yes happy indeed thanks.

until your project actually moves under its own power and has completed some kind of event, or even driven down the road with you driving it. you are excluded from making comment, or passing judgement over anyones thread in here james ringtimes.

I was having a think and was thinking since yours is FWD, wouldn't it be better to lower the back to put more weight on the front? As in RWD they lift the back to put more weight on the back, a wise man once said think of it like a table with a leg slightly longer, more of the weight is on that longer leg, same applies to cars.

Think of carrying a couch,if one end is higher than the other the lower end has more weight on it.
