Changes to your car will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps.
:: Tuning Tips Droop: The standard settings of 6mm front and 5mm rear will work best in most cases. Droop is measured just underneath the outer hinge pin as shown in the photos to the right. Front Droop Setting: 6mm On bumpy or low grip surfaces, increase the droop (going to a lower number on the droop gauge), this will help increase traction and consistency. Rear Droop Setting: 5mm 6 345 01 2 78 6 345 01 2 78 Droop adjustments of 0.
