Initial Setup of RCR + 2 Suspension

[Greg Marriott]

Jason,

CP5555 front and rear with AP 3/4" short master cylinders and bias adjustment.

The alum hats were machined by the guy who did the whole brake set up for me back in 01/02 when I first started building the car. He was a top class fabricator and worked for a few of the V8 Supercar teams over the years but has now stopped working on cars completely.

Thanks guys for all your help on the suspension. Finally got the rear setup to Dean Lampes recommendations. Will tackle the fronts now.

All in all a pretty tight fit. The rears have the small diameter 13" rotors.

If anyone has any pointers on the front other than the previous posts they would be appreciated. I believe its best to move the lower arm fairly far forward.

Very Sexy..
Front baseline...Lower arms are all the way forward and upper arms all the way back...

Looking good Jason.

Will have some more feedback on the suspension setup once we track test the demo rcr-40 up here in a couple of weeks.

Here is where my set up is....

Front Lower:
- Front: full forward position
- Rear as needed to accommodate front
- Heim joints 1/2 thread length engaged

Front Upper:
- Full rearward positions
- Front heim, two threads exposed beyond jam nut
- Rear heim, no threads exposed beyond jam nut
- Upper ball joint all the way in, and thread locked (loctite etc)


Rear Upper:
- Trailing link; one thread exposed beyond jam nut
- Control arm; two threads exposed beyond jam nut

Rear Lower:
- Trailing arm; four threads exposed beyond jam nut
- Control arm inner; fully threaded, none exposed
- Control arm outer forward, fully threaded, none exposed
- Control arm outer rear; 3.5 threads exposed beyond jam nut


Note; rear is +2 suspension

hope this helps ya.....
