Shock absorbers / Dampers

  • C-spanner: 1.9 inch
  • Shock absorber settings: 13 clicks available, hard (stiff) is clockwise
  • Springs front: 800 lb/in

GRDC+ / G40 Cup coilover make: Quantum One.Zero, Ginetta branded, one way (adjusts bump & rebound), different front and rear

  • C-spanner: 68-75 mm with lug (e.g. Gedore available from Amazon). One full turn of the coilover collar is approximately 1 mm in ride height.
  • Shock absorber settings: 24 clicks available, clockwise to set stiffer. When adjusting, it's easier to go full stiff then adjust back to soft because you can feel the clicks clearly when going downwards. The rear shock is upside down compared to front, so the adjuster is at the top. The units are also marked as F and R (for front and rear).
  • Suggested starter settings: Rear 6 clicks from soft (18 from hard), roll bar full soft. Front 21 clicks from soft (3 from hard), roll bar medium.
  • Springs front: 800 lb/in
  • Springs rear: 425 lb/in
  • Front with C-Spanner
