just finished my intimidator gsx and had a question about the front suspension.After assembly I noticed that the right front suspension hangs lower then the left side.I rechecked the directions to be sure I assembled them properly.By directions suspension is done by the book.Is this issue normal.Thanks for the help!

I to just finished a GSX and my car sits the same way. Although I dont have alot of experience with it I would imagine it is for transfer of wieght for the left hand turns we will be making a lot of. I did put mine on the track for the first time saturday ( without a body) and it seemed to go around the track just fine. It will need some fine tuning for our track but I'll do that once I have the body complete.

make sure both of the camber rods are equal lenght , this would cause one arm to drop lower then the other. when i had my gbx i put the castor blocks on the wrong side,its not very clear in the instructions so check that too.

you can also adjust the length by making sure both shocks are the same length . I also had the same problem and the car worked ok but seemed a little unstable in the corners so I asked a custom works driver about it and he helped me get it where it needed to be . Try to get them as level as you can.

The camber links should not affect the droop . The shock length will. Check to make sure you have the ends of the shock screwed on the same.

one would think but it does, i know for a fact as i have scratched my head over it a couple of times and only learned by readjusting the camber length.
