- Someone said 92 km/h is max in carousel so ofcourse I (stupid) had to beat that. I think I flew out of it at 96?But I think it's the shocks that needs to be looked after now.. I have the same problems when crossing some curbs at normal tracks. Well, Trial 'n error, we'll see how it works out!

Hi Rassel - You are correct on the OEM ride height. As I mentioned -prior to manthey redoing the suspension, my car was much lower do to the fact that the last track the car was driven at was Monza so we had cranked it all the way down about 12mm lower front and rear. Of course the ride was a bit crashy on the road and it scraped the front spoiler on any and every speed bump/driveway et al - but it was liveable as the roads here in Italy are pretty good - so I left it that way for several months (Not to mention it looked phenomonal!) When I picked the car up at Manthey I was so akin to seeing it planted on the ground with the tires tucked under - it looked really high - but two turns into the Ring and I understood. Had I gone there with my car's old set up I surely would have pitched my self into the armco!
