The EPR setup on the Schuey site is broken :-(

And the RHR isn't there yet...

Will be interesting to see both, I played with Cougar setups yesterday and I'm loving it...

Sorted, here's Tom's EPR and RHR setups

Anyone?
Thanx

it gives more droop,

simoncrabb 17-05-2010 09:44 AM

Yep, I tried this yesterday, slightly longer shocks front and rear, more droop, tis good.

I'm going to measure my shocks and compare to Tom's measurements.

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 09:46 AM

Done the rears and much better, just need to do the fronts this week.

Think I was over damped on Sunday at TORCH on the rear though

burgie 17-05-2010 10:05 AM

when adding more rear droop to the car, does the chassis have to be cut at all?

I seem to remember that when building my cougar, the chassis edges were limiting the down travel of the rear wishbones. Could be wrong there though.

bigred5765 17-05-2010 10:37 AM

yeah Chris just dremmel the edge of the chassis were the wishbones touch

burgie 17-05-2010 10:47 AM

this evening, I will be mostly covered in carbon fibre dust :lol:

kwiksi 17-05-2010 11:54 AM

I understand now. I already used longer rod end in the rear, but is there a longer end for the front instead of unscrewing the shock end? If so what is the part#?

bigred5765 17-05-2010 12:38 PM

nope just unscrew them 2-3 turns,we dont use longer ones just inthread them all 3 turns.

Cheers Adam. Worked a treat except now Ive done it the file size is to large to upload to oople! How are people putting up there pdf files of setups?

MattW 19-05-2010 10:04 PM

I think there is also a way that you can output the setup as a pure jepg which is likely to be a smaller file. I think it's called the snapshot tool, or something similar, where it copies the whole form, then you can paste into a blank jpg file. Can't remember how you do it though, because I use a pdf writer.

whats the advantage of having extra droop on the rear.

I find it has plenty standard.

if anything, I would find that the cvd's would bind if anymore droop, on most other cars anyway.

Trying it today for the first time, car seems more stable especially through the bumpy stuff.
