I got a question, where does one measure the ride height from? How is the front 10 mm taller than the rear? I'm quite confused.
@meatman - G'day Josh.
I was told as a 'baseline' (which worked great as a starting point) to set up the chassis heights as folows;
Front height at 80mm from ground level (measured off the flat patch during corner weighting) at the underside of the aluminium floor skin, and immediately behind the joint where the diffuser is bolted into the chassis tube.... in other words, at the most forward point under the aluminium floor skin.
Rear height set at 70mm from ground level, and again measured under the aluminium floor skin, and immediately in front of the aluminium 'flap' that the fibreglass diffuser sits on... in other words, at the most rearward point under the aluminium floor skin
This was great advice and really got me going with confidence.
... and before anyone mentions we should be using the 'drop height' method... for me that wasn't an option as I was running Avon Sprint tyres (soft A15 compound) and they have different diameters to the Hankook and Dunlop control tyres which the tables in the SR3 Handbooks are based on. Using drop heights assumes the tyre radius is the same as the table says (either Hankook or Dunlop)... measuring from the flat patch as described above is the only easy way to get a baseline with different diameter tyres.
