This car is race ready...... Everything you need is in the kit..
fine tuning items such as different center springs and side springs are required along with the ride height adjusters for the rear only.. The kit comes with aluminum spacers to raise and lower the front end

racing_jason-
rear pod droop is adjusted by turning the ball ends on the center shock.
to adjust it on the front you would add or remove shims from the kingpin.

so if a person says they are running .5mm of droop that means the ball end of the schock is a half milimeter longer then the stock setting?

You need to make sure the shock is fully extended when you measure.

This is from over at the DB12R thread but the way to measure droop will be the same on the 12R5 as any other car. Hope it helps:
Measuring pod droop in degrees is a pain in the azz
What we do is measure the ride height on a flat surface. Then we lift the car slowly from the ballstud on the pod top plate until the shock fully extends and starts to lift the car. You want to lift it until the rear wheels are just about to leave the ground and then measure your ride height at the same area. The difference between the 2 ride heights in mm will give you the droop amount.
