rookie suspension mod

[thesnake505]

hay guys, iv done my own suspension mod today, iv mounted the shocks inboard on the chassis, iv also lowerd them to the 2nd hole down. i used 6mm bar to make the brace, 3mm screws either side, then drilled and tapped the bar for the 2.5mm thread of the ball stud! its not perfect, and i found that i needed to add springs to the rear because it wasnt returning perfectly striaght! i want to make some custom tie rods, so that i can have better wheel clearance on the front (lock to lock) and also some new lower links to help prevent botteming out so easy!

Nicely done! Did it help the performance?

Yea performance is loads better! About half an inch maybe (13) perhaps a little more articulation by my calculations any way! Adding springs has slowed down the articulation rate, which has stopped it flipping on its roof when the front flips up!
