Nice list of bits. You going to set this up sprung or droop.

Few hours later:       The instructions are super clear and easy to follow. Quality and fit of this kit is a outstanding. I am down to shocks so since Im a newbie, I am going to do some research on droop vs sprung before continuing.  |

Personally I like the droop setup and that is how I set mine. Keeps the COG low and the car seems to sit better and you still have plenty of GC.

x2 on droop. I like the lower cofg and it still jumps/lands well with the smaller spring on top of the pistion.

Well, I changed my mind and went with droop to give it a shot. I read somewhere that especially tube frame vehicles benefit from this setup. | |

the R1 looks fantastic ...... can't wait to build mine ..... so the droop set up is better than the sprung set up for the G-transitions? |

Today I received the front skid plate and shock braces from RPP. I also received the lights for the front(2) but the darn thing comes all apart and without instructions and I really have no clue on how to put them together. Anybody want to help me on this one? I also took them ugly numbers from the side, they didn't fit. Not really in its enviroment yet but I got some pics outside today.   Last edited by Oso787; 06-23-2010 at 06:07 PM. |
