Move the front upper link onto the top screw of the suspension block. You will have to use a longer turnbuckle. Some guys also use a different kingpin that puts the outer link on top of it . I think they use a b-3 pin.

I forgot to mention try a set of the tyson springs. Customworks now sells them . They are longer than tc3 but are about 8 lb springs and they are silver. Hope this helps.

Ya ive seen those silver spring this weekend on arnie and robs car here at the summer nats. They were dialed. I Got the setup tips from them for my track and asked a few ?'s, but i just need to know about building them. Why use the longer turn buckle and move it?

It seems to make it steer a little smoother. I think it takes the camber gain out of the car.

When putting in the electronics, were should i put the antenna and how should i mount the switch to the chassis. its a novak so no screw holes. double sided tape will peel off with one push, will a lil drop of c/a work?
