After running it quite a bit out the box I decided to put some attention into the suspension of the car to get the bounce out. I started by taking the shocks apart ont he front and adding some heavy friciton grease that came with an IAS kit


Here is a close up full of gunk lol! But it really made a difference. The dapening effect is there beyond the springs.


And the rear. I had grease but it needs to be much softer so I removed it. It does need the spacers though unless you go really low. I can adjust rear camber which was also pretty high but I have yet to find a way to guage. More work to do there.


I think another cause of the chatter is the toe-in. This picture is not exagerated. Well at least it seems to be in my opinoin but I have no way to adjust this part. The rear is fixed where the front is adjustastable. Atomic has a toe-in kit but not sure how that would help. Sometimes at this scale the most exagerated things can make or break a good setup.


Height is adjustable turning the screw in the center of the photo. I was able to preload the suspension a bit but it also affects ride height and travel obviously so I usually try to adjust that with spring stiffness. Right now only the DWS springs fit from my testing.
