When I was running at the local med-high bite indoor clay track, my steering was at first dull and slow (little pushy). I moved the top of the front shocks all the way out and LOVED the change, initial turn in fit my driving style perfectly.

Higher front ride over rear ride also "favors" giving more traction bias to the lower end. I dont think it would hurt to raise the rear up a touch.

Ready to rock the carpet off-road. Outfitted with rear mini pins out back along with cut staggers up front. This thing is damn quick on the carpet off road. Added 3 degree rear arm mounts and will tweak the suspension this coming weekend. Ditched the servo saver as suggested. Much better.

Uh, run them of course! 8) Duh! :lol: :mrgreen:



Added 10T rear hubs, RPM parts, aluminum worlds bell cranks, Reventon R, Trinity 10.5, etc.
Had to move the front turnbuckles up on the shock tower to avoid hitting the center link on the bell cranks. Hopefully the 'adjusted' angle won't hurt handling. Still on the lookout for the rest of the RPM parts to complete it.

A totally amazing build. Such a beautiful car :shock:
Might have to reevaluate my CVD setup on my BK 1993 build.

A couple more NIP parts to add to the mix. Only need a set if spring retainers and an assortment of shock collars.

Yeah I know, especially considering the price of it. :oops:
Keeps the stock look up front. Business in the back. :mrgreen:

Now where is that elusive RPM rear shock tower that would have avoided such an infamy?
