Suspension Set-up
 
I have a new front suspension set-up for rally courses that I love. I notice that if I use the light suspension springs only, the car will bottom out on hard impacts. I have found a way to have a bit more tension at the end of the suspension travel.

I cut one of the stock stiff springs in half and put it on the guide rod first followed by a thin aftermarket white washer. Finally, I put a light tension Epoch spring on the bottom.

So: Half of a heavy spring/thin washer/light spring.

This has plenty of travel for rallye type racing. It's a little bit tall for road courses. (may flip easier)
