Ride height
 

Just looking for some information on ride height. My base set up I run wishbones level, with a slight increase on the front which works out roughly 21mm front, 20mm rear.

Browsing through various setups, mainly from drivers down south - they all seem to have very low ride heights! How is this being done? I can scrape 19mm however the shock collars are unwound to the most itl go.

A few examples;
Kev Lee, 19mm all round - something I can achieve.
Elliot Boots 18mm all round
Tony Evdoka 18mm - 19mm rear
Kev Lee 16mm all round - I cant get anywhere near this.

I do notice that drivers are using the medium shock eyelet on the rear, but when applying this, I notice a few things.

Firstly droop is vastly reduced, as standard with the long eyelet rear traction can be a struggle at times, so when running the medium eyelet rear end grip is further reduced.

With the medium eyelet attached, to get 17/18mm ride height the shock collar is wound down quite a lot and giving a lot of spring pre load. This seems to give the shock a stiffer feel and looses the progressiveness.

Now, am I missing a trick here, or is this something only a few drivers are doing?

Are you on kit arms ? I ran 16mm at Silverstone last time no probs rudebits shorty trey with an ounce beneath it orange fr red r springs collars are about 5mm from top medium eyelets fs arms

Kit rear arms yes - do the flat wishbones make that much of a difference? I've not needed to swap over as of yet as ive had a rear roll bar fitted to avoid the rear end collapse issue.

The rb5 arms raise the lower shock mounting point which is why you need to use shorter eyelets to achieve the same amount of droop.

also try losi spring paul there shorter length we run small eyelets front and rear and just unscrew to get droop needed

Cheers Dan, I've ordered some - thank you for the part number again. Car is still going really well, just trying a few different things and this was one of them!

Always ran losi springs Carl, not paying the price tag for the K springs.

You gotta run the rb5 arms pal. Much better
