I've looked in the F60 manual bit can't see where it explains the heights

thanks

There is no definitive answer for that. Depends on your tires, battery weight, spring selection, on and on. You just need to go by trial and error till you get the right height.

You can yes if it's for the F103. Cut and install as shown. I've found though they are a bit fragile. Seems the polycarbonate they use seems brittle...
There are 2 extra holes on the rear of the F1R pod plate. You can attach the difuser there as well if you trim them to fit- including the stock hard plastic F104 difuser.

I think there are some steering ball ends needed but I'm not sure what the stock F104 has included.

So what is the effect of shorter or taller spacer?
