Nice job. I think they’re easier than the early cars, just different.

If you're DIY'ing and want to corner weight yourself, do as I did on the kitcar and lob a few bags of sand or ballast in the driver's seat to approx. match your weight(assuming it'll be driven more solo than with a passenger)then adjust the ride heights accordingly.
That should end up with them as close to optimum setting without extra expense.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.

If you are going to do this, and geometry setup (pretty much a necessity after changing shocks/springs), I'd advise letting the suspension settle in before making any final adjustments. |

Totally agree, James. I left mine for about 500 miles before adjusting and for sure they had settled . |

put 70 miles on the suspension today , well impressed , running quite low but not bottoming out at all , only 1 minor scrape going over speed bump in village. normally a fair weather car but today it had a winter blast.   |
