I can't get my worlds car ride height to get down to 24mm. With the collars all the way up I think the ride height is about 30mm with the green springs that come with the kit. 2 limiters. I know this is probably because the springs are brand new, but can anyone offer some advice on what to do?

lol come on guys i've raced a B4 for over a year and I just got the new kit. I did not forget to put the battery in it and i'm measuring under the trans. No one else has had this problem? I can't even get close to dogbones level

lol, just checking to see if you forgot to put the battery in.
are the shock cups installed correctly? i once bought a used TC6 and the shock cups were installed upside down when I got it. i was wondering why there was so little shock travel.

lol, I can barely get "Up'" to level bones with my b4 with green springs. If you have been running a b4 for a while, you should know the car well. Take the wheels off and disconnect the shocks and make sure the arms are free. make sure the shocks are not binding at the top either. Removed the spring and move the shaft up and down and make sure it has the right amount of rebound and is smooth and free. I am not saying springs dont need to be broken in, but I hope not too much or we would need to replace them constantly.

spring cups not going over the shock bottom is my guess

I have everything taken apart right now and I'm going to rebuild the shocks. I got the kit brand new built by a local that never ran it. I guess it's possible something could have been wrong. I'll report back later tonight once I get everything back together

t.mathewson,I had the same problem when I bought a used b4.1 so I installed some extra hpi blitz shock retainers,they are lower profile and now I can get it as low as i want even using stiff springs.
