Most people wouldn’t even use there knowledge on a car that old because most has changed. Those shocks you would need to replace, modern tracks would destroy them with how much we jump. Again parts you need on hand or your days done. What could you replace them with? Most shocks today would be much longer which means you can’t directly replace them as it wouldn’t fit without being completely wrong. ..... I’ll stop but just trying to be realistic, the race track is no place for a mp7.5.
First of all the MP7.5 is based on an older competition car and is a decent start for hitting tracks and clubracing.

It is a common that bashers (not hitting the tracks) can ask all kind of questions of how to adjust caster, camber, toe, the need of sway bars other shocks etc. even not knowing what is does and if they need it. That is why books like those from Hudy give a lot of information, not of only what it does but what will change if you adjust it. Not only helpfull for the racers but also for the bashers.
