I think I did a demo a few weeks back. The other day when I looked at your slipper you have about 5 threads showing. I've found the width of a red shock oring for starters which is around 1.5m from the cup to the back of the adujster nut is a good starting point. This is making some assumuptions that your diffs are in good shape and broken in.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Mark. I measured that space from when you adjusted it the other day as a datum. Good stuff thanks. On another note, there was a guy at the track today who ran an 18.6 and a bunch of 18.7's (ebuggy).
He ran a battery through my buggy and thought the overall set up was very good but suggested a few changes to keep the rear end more planted under hard acceleration through the chicane. He said to change the camber link to the position A and to add a 2mm spacer under the ballstud. In addition he said increasing the rear toe would help it track straighter through the triple double.
What are your thoughts on these suggestions. Anyone else have an opinion?
Thanks!
