Found out something...Either the oil was too thin, worn out, or underfilled (I'm guessing it was a combo of the 3) in the shocks. It seemed thin, black, and the shocks were only about 4/5 full. Now filled with correct oils and feels better, doesn't bottom out from a foot drop any more.
The Official Mugen Thread - chickenfarmer3 - 08-31-2007
hmmm, but can you drop it from 3 foot like mine and it not bottom???
thats good man, good idea to put a small piece of air filter foam under the bladder too just to help it from compressing.
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
we'll put some foam under the shock bladders and make sure your setup right on sun

Anybody that's got some calipers handy, what is your amount of preload clips on your shocks and shock length f/r?
The Official Mugen Thread - chickenfarmer3 - 08-31-2007
bones level front and rear.
The Official Mugen Thread - Ponch - 08-31-2007
Ok what I got on there right now for preload f/r=6mm/3mm
And overall shock lenght, from screw head on bottom to bottom of threads on top, f/r=103mm/126mm.
I'll check how it sits in a minute.
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
with the car ready to hit the track /with fuel ya bones level and the droop should be at 10.5 mm from the bench to the bottom of the a arms while the car's sitting on two rims
The Official Mugen Thread - Ponch - 08-31-2007
Bones level front, about 1mm above in rear, but that's no gas, wing, or body.

Lost here a little bit...Ok so put rims on all 4, no tires. Where am I measuring this 10.5mm at? Near the chassis or near the hubs?

ya lost me with the threads part. the shock end should b screwd all the way on and with the long gray springs your car should have 9 up front and 8 on the back. look at the plastic spacers they are marked 1,2,3,5,8
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
to measure the droop remove the wheels from your car.place the car on two unmounted rims ( not stacked on top of each other) measure from the table to the bottom of the a arms, all the way on the ends
The Official Mugen Thread - Ponch - 08-31-2007
Ok so I'm missing a hell of alot of preload right now. I'll pick up some more clips tomorrow at lh.
And thanks for the explanation in post #167, makes sense now.
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
the a arms have a small set screw that goes down to the chassy it takes a 2 mm wrench as you turn the screw clockwise this will make the screw come in contact with the chassy and you are now adjusting your droop
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
dont know if ya got long springs or the stock ones
The Official Mugen Thread - Ponch - 08-31-2007
I'm familiar with droop and how to adjust it
Yes, long grey springs.
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007
the shocks should be in the middle hole on the towers and outter on the a arms f/r. the hubs need to be in the lower hole. did your car come with directions and a setupsheet? if not we'll get ya some
The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007

The Official Mugen Thread - allan42r - 08-31-2007

Shocks are as you say above. Not sure what you mean by the hubs need to be in the lower hole. Are you talking about the rear ones? Right now, they're in the hole closest to the axle, there's still a set of holes below them...So I should move the hub up by putting the pin through the lower hole? I have the prospec manual, it's the one that's like 5 pages thick. No setup sheet but I can print that out.
allan42r Wrote:ok and what swaybars do have on the car?
Up front right now I have 2.4 and in the rear, calipers say 2.8, no sticker on it though.
