I found the dual steering system to be real nice, no slop and nice and smooth.The body had to be cut away abit to allow the steering arms move through it.
Next on the agenda are more spares like kingpins and etc.

What sort of ride height for asphalt should i aim at?
my setup that im going to test is as follows:

Front:
1* camber plate - 35g
Soft silver spring
Stock spacer placement.
0* toe

Rear:
Single hole pistion in the dampers
500wt muchmore oil in shocks
heaviest spring
sway bar kit - 5 stripe
standard rear toe plate
1mm droop
ride height atm approx 5mm
Great Shano, Thanx!!

I'm the proces of buying a FGX. So I'm looking for the most essential hopups for the car! And since you are going to drive the car for the first time tomorrow this is a good moment to ask you about your set up and experience regarding the car.
So thanx again for the info and I'm very curious about your F1 test session tomorrow!!

Are you going to proceed like the real F1 teams? They are testing their new cars this week in Barcelona!! Good luck with your testing session
