Not making fun of you and there is no messing up. You get to make your own choice as in picking a flat stone to skip across the pond. Some skip some don't and then you get to make another choice. We have been around a little while and we are still skipping stones across the pond.

You might want to order set of helper springs for the fortunes as well. When I went that high a rate I lost a bunch of droop since the springs don't compress as much. Having more droop allows the car to stay better composed over rough surfaces. I needed to go to a 5 inch rear spring to make space but you can use the 7 inch front. Fortune should be able to sell you the helpers you need on their site but if not dm me and I can show you my setup.

Trial and error is always part of suspension setup. Have fun with it!

I wish it’s as easy as changing settings on a video game, or have a full crew to do the adjustment in an instant (air jacks built into the chassis, center locks, real time data, blah blah).

Just let me dream on….

Get everything dialed in for one track. The faster you go, the slower it feels.

Go to a different track, and think of what an evil handling car you have. It wants to put you into the first fence you see.

Everything feels like it's in hyper speed. Back to square one.

justin_boy · 05-18-2021, 01:48 PM

haha okay! so I did 16k/14k and left it at that. i also bought the 18k's because as cygnus told me, they are interchangeable on the fortunes. they use a 7" 60mm with an adapter in the rear for a 65 to 60. correct me if im wrong

justin_boy · 05-27-2021, 02:08 PM

alrighty boys

i canceled the 510's. wait time was becoming insane and some other stuff came up.

decided to go with mcs tt1 true type

figuring out rates but i think ill start with 14k front 6k rear.

i know its been discussed before but last time was a couple years ago.

just curious as to anyone having issues with the shock tower holding up?

if you guys have done any reinforcing what kind?
