If you are using the F104 front end you change ride height by moving the spacers on the kingpin to move the steering block up and down.

If you are using the wide F103 front end you can't change the ride height, you true the foam tyres down to size to reduce the ride height.

You will have to try and measure yourself.
If you want to raise it by 1mm you will have to transfer 1mm washer from below the knuckle to the above and vice versa.

I finally finished up going though the thousand or so images from the US Grand Prix in Austin. I also captured some of the historic F1 race as well. I have a bit more than these on my hard drive, so if there is anything you are interested in seeing, don't hesitate to ask. I figured this may be helpful for you guys in replicating the F1 liveries.

DFX helped me a few pages ago get a start on listing the parts to convert an F103 front ended car to a F104 front end. I took some time to go through the manual for the F104 and create a listing of all the parts needed. I don't believe I've missed anything. A few parts from the F103 can be used for the conversion, but I didn't leave them off of the list for that reason.
Unfortunately, the cost of all these parts added up is pricey! About $75.00. If anyone has an F104 front end that they want to sell, please PM me. I'm thinking I might be better off to sell my F103/104 chassis on eBay or here and just take that $ towards a new kit.

Here is my latest F-1 scale project, this is a Tamiya P-34 kit, this is the lexan version kit sold a few years ago, built stock, almost done just a few more stickers to add and I am not happy with the stickers for the rollbar so am gonna try something different there..
I am actually gonna try driving this one, not competitively just for fun, just gotta see it run around a track… JEFF

Does anyone know of a setup guide for the f104 pro (not v2)? I've been using the X-ray t3 setup guide for touring cars, and found it to be very beneficial in understanding how to properly setup a car. Unfortunately most of this info does not seem to carry over to the f1 chassis, and I'm a little confused on what changes do what.

Our track allows only Tamiya, including tires. So my only options are a new F104 or the V2. The V2 is just too much $ for me to justify. $500 car by the time it's rolling on its own. $750 if I had to buy components too. If F1 was my only class, maybe I could justify it.

I can get you a 104 front end for a lot less than that, and with most of the hopup parts. Likewise I have a large stock of FGX parts and hopups with more on the way.
