That will get you going, only a few changes from then .....

Main change is that I am now using the middle camber link position on the bulkhead both front and rear ends.

Often run 10 degree castor blocks on the front too.

Run it like that for a bit then let me know what you would prefer it to do handling wise if it's not perfect for you and I'll tell you how to change the set-up to suit.

I have a personal preference which means most of the time I run #70 silver springs on the front which have had 1.5 coils cut off.

Ride heights quoted as the gap between the top of the upper spring platform and the shock cap.

For carpet I run a very similar set-up but .....

Lime green springs (#75) all round, in outer holes on the wishbones and a 1.2mm rear anti-roll bar ... no other changes.

The ZX5-SP is a VERY easy car to drive, this set-up will give you loads of steering without making the car feel too twichy.
