Just fitted some Gaz Golds along with Jims solid mounts and Ash's ARB to the track car. When we dropped the car it became clear that it wasn't sitting level, I put a spirit level on the door sill and it was the turn of the bubble out, it's also out by the small amount across which I assume is due to the fronts being at different levels.

The car was lowered by 40mm ish when I got it so that's were the rear end is.

My question is what advise has anyone got for getting the thing nice and level (assuming level is best ?)and set up for track use. Do I need a special tool for adjusting the fronts ?

And finally, how hard should I go on the rebound, anyone got track experience with these.

Thanks, Steve

how are you sure the ground is 100% level and all the tyres are evenly worn?

Bring on the Trumpets.

Mine were a little off to start with too mate, level them up for definite though mate. When I got mine they came as standard with 350 Lbs springs on which were way too soft even on a significantly lightened carv and as a result I had terrible knocking noises as the suspension bottomed out. I ended up having to send them back for checking until they realised that they had specced the wrong spring weight, they then sent out some 420 lbs and some 450 lbs springs, the 420s cured the knocking and all has been well ever since. I still have the 450 lbs ones though.

As for settings, I was advised to adjust the damping all the way out (Fully anticlockwise to the softest setting) then wind on five clicks of damping as a start point. They are still there as I blew my engine to shit at the very next trackday so I can't really give you much feedback as to how well any particular setup works.

With regards to leveling, make sure you have the car on flat level ground, then try measuring the height from the top of the tyre or top edge of the wheel rim to the underside of the wheelarch. You wo't need any special tools really for this, just a tape-measure, the 'C'spanner that came with the shocks and a jack is handy (to take some of the weight off the car while you turn the locking collars as it makes it much easier and is less likely to wear out the threads.
