I like the overall innovation of this car, but I think the new adjustment features using slots with graduations is going to be fiddly and maybe hard to get consistent or repeatable settings for all four corners. Shims are still simple and easily repeatable. The rear lower arm pivot mounted off a bulkhead brace doesn't feel right either. You tweak something just a little bit and your rear arms will bind. Having both pivots on the chassis is still a more robust approach, not sure what the suspended mount buys you.

Ronald V. showed me how it was much better than shims. Suspended mount is due to short chassis to avoid scaping during acceleration.
Car design is good :) |

Arguing about a theoretical screw that may or may not be on the car to begin with. I have seen the screw but carry on! :D

Looks like the shocks have adjustment lines similar to the upper arm adjustments to raise and lower the shock. The slot appears to be a part of a custom ball stud that makes these adjustments and not necessarily a screw at all. I wouldn't start making assumptions until we are holding the car in our hands and actually building the kit. Looking forward to them releasing the build manual that will help make how its designed pretty clear.

Rear axle looks like the MTC2R to me.

Please elaborate, I’m curious how it’s “much better”.

You loosen the locking screwing and turn the adjuster to desired setting and re-tighten locking screw and you're done. No need to find the right shims or completely removing the dampener from its mount.

Good pic of the upper shock mount and adjustment screw.

Any news on when it will actually be available in stores?
