Hi guys, just a quick update. I've had the week off work and have made it out a couple of times to try some more stuff.
The short story is that I keep coming back to the shock setups listed above, there are other combinations that make the cars feel easier to drive but all seem either slower or less consistent against the clock.
I have found with the above setups all that I am changing for different tracks / conditions are;
Inner ball stud spacing (typically starting at 1mm both ends on the Lazer, 5mm [use the ball studs with the 2mm shoulder to prevent them pulling out] front & 2mm rear on the 2wd)
Upper shock mounting position (in when more roll needed, out when less wanted)
front hub height (run the front AXLE low for buckets full of front end bite, axles up if you want to calm the car down) ... this is a powerful tool, especially on the FS2!
Just to clarify the rear shock tower position on the 2wd; they are mounted at distance apart that is equivalent to the width between the middle holes on the Lazer rear tower.
Hopefully that will help some of you ... lets put the small bores to bed for good
