Setting of the DRH - the ride height under rear damper.
The ride height under rear damper (DRH) is set via preload of two side coil springs SPR12S in
conjunction with the optional additional preload via set screws in the two side beams AM1205.
These beams act as springs when the screws in them press on the AM1204 chassis plate.
A12 setup sheet includes two values for the rear ride height. DRH 1 shows the ride height resulting
from side spring pressure only, without the use of AM1205 side beams. DRH ride height is the final
ride height of the car (which can be a combination of both side springs and side bars to reach this final
desired height). For example, DRH1 (damper ride height set with only side spring pressure) will equal
DRH when side beams are not being used, as there is no additional side beam pressure.
AM1205 side beams act as an additional spring when these set screws are set to touch
the AM1204 outer plate. The rearmost position of the set screws provides the stiffest
vertical suspension rate, and the front most position the softest vertical suspension rate.
These side beams can also be used without any set screws for a small increase in the
cars overall vertical stiffness. Please use blue "Soft" thread lock on any set screws used.
Setting of the Rear Droop.
Adjusting of SS3X10 set screw depth (Droop Screw Depth)
is used for setting of the rear suspension droop (Rear Droop).
Droop Screw Depth can be measured via calipers or via
counting of the number of turns the screw is screwed into
damper's case. Every turn of the thread is 0,5mm in depth.
So for example, 4 full turns of SS3X10 screw starting
from position when the lower face of the screw
coincides with the lower face of the damper
corresponds to 2mm Droop Screw Depth.
Enter Droop Screw Depth value into the
A12 editable setup sheet. The rear droop
value will be calculated automatically based
on the DRH and RRH data.
