I think ideally you want the length set so if you lift the car you have about .5 to 1mm of upward movement from rest with batteries etc. in the car (droop) before the shock is at full extension.
Have i explained that in a way you understand ?? it makes sense to me but then i wrote it
Well I lengthened the shock by winding out the ball ends until just the thread was covered and I've ended up with this.....
Rear pod height 4.5 mm (however there is a .5 mm difference from the rear of the pod to the side by the tweak springs).
Height at the battery is 4.5mm with 1 mm of up travel before the shock is at full extension (using a silver spring wound in about 1/2 way).
Although it's a bit tricky with the slop in the ball cups to take into account (with regards up travel) , so I'm measuring it by lifting it up from the pod ball stud.
Height at the front is 4.5mm
Sounding better I hope?
Also now that it is level should I be trying to maintain this straight line no matter what the tire diameter is?
