2 easy questions from a new owner
Just received my car and I'm trying to figure two things out.
1. How do I lift it so I can do maintenance and alignments? I've found the rear jacking point that sticks through the diffuser so the real problem is how to lift the front. It looks like I can put my low profile jack just behind one front wheel and there's a spot where 3 chassis tubes come together that seems solid enough to lift on. What does everyone else use to lift the front?
2. It looks like the sway bars are not adjustable? The manual talks about several different sway bars, so to balance the car we need to keep several different sway/roll bars and swap out at the track? I must be missing something. Every other way I know of balancing the car is sub-optimal to just adjusting a sway/roll bar. How does everyone else adjust the balance over/under steer without adjustable sway bars?
To answer question 1 check out this post. https://radicalsportscarregistry.com/radicalforum/general-discussion/radical-jacking-lifting/
For question 2. Have you checked out the “Handling guide”? Here is the link. https://radicalsportscarregistry.com/handling-guide/ . This is a great place to start.

Posted by: @chritian95Hello, I am looking for a nice person, a shop or a racing team where I could buy parts for my Radical SR1. Radical does not sell in France directly to individuals and the resellers, very friendly, are quite expensive, which I can understand. Thank you. Christian 😉
Hi Christian, The official reseller in France is Marcassus sport... We work with Marcassus as one of their sales partners and Radical teams mostly for Eastern France, we're based in Saone et Loire (Beaurepaire en Bresse). Prices we practice for spares should be aligned with Radical factory UK prices with minor fluctuations due to shipping costs and exchange rates. Having said that Radical have never been cheap. Don't hesitate to ask if you would like a quote on anything, free of obligation of course. 😉
You can also call us on +33 (0)3 85 74 49 70. Note we're not always in the office these days due to Covid-19 restrictions.
