Setting up IFS

[Markus]

I am confused about how to set up the IFS suspension.

traditionally (shock tower), if you wanted to make initial turn in quicker you would stand the shocks upwards or move the top endpoint outwards.

How would you do this in the IFS setup?

Also, what effect does lengthening and shortening the pushrods do?

Can someone explain how to adjust the suspension and how each adjustment will effect the car?

TIA,

Mark

With IFS suspension adding shims under the ball ends on the push rod side to the rocker arms will give the same effect as standing up the shocks. The push rods will effect your droop settings. Hope this helps.

thanks Tsal.

So you add shims to the pushrod side? not the shockend side?

so no spacers on the pushrod side is essentially, like having your shocks fully laid down on a standard shocktower setup?

No shims is like having the stock set up and yes add shims on the push rod side.

Please refer to page 13 in the manual, upper left corner where it explains quite briefly with diagram.
