Thx for the answer. Another question. I cannot find the spacers for the front lower suspension arms, do they come with the kit? What is the part #for them
? I cannot find it in serpent website. Also the front upper suspension arms are tight with spacers, do i need to send it down? Thx

Has anyone had any issues with their front rollbar? I installed mine using all the provided parts and the rollbar is now resting on the front driveshafts. I tried extending the ball links but to no avail. Anyone have the same problem?

have you already installed everything and set the front droop? If you have not set the front droop i'm assuming it will rest on the drive shafts. It only requires minimal clearance.

No, I haven't finished building it yet. It just seemed funny because I've not had this issue before on my electric touring cars and so it didn't seem correct.
Thanks for the advice!

However, even though I've not finished building, when I move the suspension arms through the entire range of travel, the rollbars are still resting on the driveshaft throughout the entire range of travel.
Doesn't seem right does it?

I had the same issue when building the car, I just lengthened the links to stop them from touching.

With normal ride height set, the suspension travel is not very big, it is not a buggy!

It seems to me that one should extend(unscrew) the rear ball cup past the noted 11mm measurement on the rear shock shaft. I had to take this measurement to about 13.5mm to able to get a 8 droop on the set up blocks. The 11mm measurement with a fully extended shock would not allow the lower a arm to lower enough to obtain an 8 droop reading. I made sure that I used the longer ball cups on the rear shocks. Did anyone else notice this or am I missing something?

I have the same problem. I also extended the rods in front and behind to ensure no limit the travel of the arms.
