My biggest question is that the cyclone always required the roll centers to be raised by 1.5mm and most of the 415 set up's have the pivot blocks flat on the chassis. Has anyone played around with raising them slightly? I'd like to possibly raise them 2mm but I was told that there may be clearence issues. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
hmmm, not sure about that...
Most of the time, we ended up running 3-hole pistons, with slightly heavier oil. Also removed the red foam piece from on-top of the shock, which helps reduce the pack and make the car smoother overall.
Raising the roll centres does work... but I personally never went above 1.5mm (and that was on a very quick track, with a 27t), but that did carry awesome corner speed.
Something else that was done as a general rule of thumb was white/blue springs, and no roll bars. Have a look here, if you haven't already for a number of setups that work well
