Sorry if i open continuos topic: :oops:

I have ulterior question;
for a asphalt track at low ttraction, since you should set the total length of the shock absorbers (tip)?
I've set them all 4 to 63.00 mm about.It's ok or are short?

There is a table, says that the recommended length of the shock absorbers, for carpet and asphalt tracks in the second of the track is low, medium or high traction? (A bit like the rebound)

Than's for reply

I always use same length, recommended in instruction manual. I do not think that the length of the shock can influence car perfrormance

that is how I measure the legth of the shock. I make sure that distance between shock ball and shock body is tha same on all 4 shocks as this is the only way how you can influence the length of the shock. I never measure the length of the whole shock
