Final Shock Assembly
I'm sure most everybody has done this already and this isn't too out of the ordinary. I'm not going to go through the specifics of shock filling but I'll say this. Hands down the easiest shocks I've ever built. If you follow the instructions word for word they will come out perfect the first time.
Bladder over the shock body
Shock top inside of shock cap
complete shock and spring
I sat around for a while tonight trying to decide how exactly I would build these because of the cars left turn specific intentions. It really didn't make much sense to set them up just like the instructions since those assume you want a balanced car. The book setup is 50wt oil all around with 30lb springs at the front and 17.5lb springs a the rear. After a bit of consideration I will start my testing with the following...
Left Front: 20.0lb, 50wt ---- Right Front: 35.0lb, 40wt
Left Rear : 12.5lb, 50wt ---- Right Rear : 20.0lb, 40wt
