    Default Suspension/Hockey Puck Adjustment question...

    Is there a preferred place to adjust corner weights/load on the suspension cannisters on these cars? Ex. is it better to use the link between the axle and bell-crank or the short piece between the bell-crank and cannister? I would appreciate it if somebody could educate me a bit on this part of setup.

    Many thanks,
    Frank

    Use the adjustable pushrod.. Do not use the cannister rod for ride heights. Make sure that you use scales.

    Thanks Jay - what is the appropriate use of the cannister pushrod? My understanding now is that corner weights are more important than ride height. Does this make sense?

    depending on the suspension rubber type the canister rod can have an effect on the spring rate.

    Corner weights and ride height are both VERY IMPORTANT.
