Hey guys, me again..
Done some research on this forum but couldn't really find the answer my looking for..
I'm wanting to know what the difference between the 3 spaces are? An how each one would effect off road driving?
Cheers

Nah not really what I was referring to.
I'm talking about the shock preload spaces the one's that come with the vorteks

Those just set the height of the rig. More spacers make the rig higher.

So they don't exactly do anything to off road driving performance?
Must of the driving I do with my vorteks is off road. I'm just trying to work out some way of getting it to handle a little bit better with out enabling the avc.
I'm pretty new to the hoddy as well hahah

more spacers, more spring preload, better for big jumps.

less/no spacers softer springs, more body roll so slower to tip over when sliding sideways but more body slamming the ground in big jumps.

could be a good time to invest in a bottle of medium strength loctite

Yer I put low strength loctite when I got the car but that wasn't good enough haha I'm going to get some medium tomorrow
