Can anyone advise me on setting the ride height on the hyper 10? I have been using the droop screws but this is damaging the chassis. I have heard about shock limiters but have never used or seen them. I race indoors on carpet so i try to aim for 6MM ride height, can I go lower?
Thanks in advance

you adjust the spring spacers for ride height, never use the droop screws this will make the car handle poorly.

The car dose not sit low enough even without any spring spacers. I use purple rear and blue front springs. If I use softer springs the car sits lower but then the suspension is to soft.

i know the problem, what you need is internal shock spaces to limit the lenght of the shocks, ypu'll find the front need to be a different lenght than the rear and once spaced if you move the top or bottom shock mounting the ride height will change.
it take time to get right but it does make a difference

this will alter the ride height but only the same as using the droop screws the car will still be jacked up! sounds to me like you need to find a shorter shock spring. think about this on a full size car what part do they fit to lower ride height??.................lower spring kit!!

i spoke to cml but everything they had didn't work
