3. Same question with the 3 Dinks link mount, how does that compare with the stock 4 dink ones?
4. I run at a high speed track with good traction and speed sweeps, any recommendation on the setting?
Any tips appreciated.
1. White = 13.9 lb in
Blue = 14.9 lb in
Green = 15.9 lb in * these are the kit springs*
Red = 16.9 lb in
Yellow = 17.9 lb in
2. Part U4295 makes the upper camber link shorter by moving the outer mounting point closer to the center of the car.
3. Part U4311 also makes the link shorter by moving the inner mounting point away from the center of the car
4. Carpet, Asphalt? Maybe reference here :
