Reflex Racing Low profile front suspension

I have been somewhat sceptic about the whole reverse king pin idea. This is mainly because of the added unsprung weight.

It took me a while before I installed the system in one of my cars, but when i finally did, I am happy to report that I have been wrong.


Mounting are very easy, but a bit fiddling are requiered. Spend time making sure everything are absolutely bind free.

One thing you need to get are a ball end reamer. 4.75mm. I cant praise this tool to much!

The fact that you remove a lot of slop, and have less friction in the front suspension really makes up or the added unsprung weight.
There are much less slop and as a result you get a much more precise car.

As for it beeing low profile, it will give you a lot more room inside your body. You can now use for example the Atomic pan car bodies etc without having to modify them.


Compared to the Extra long king pin suspension, it wont give you a faster car over one lap. Over a race distance however, I feel it gives an advantage.
I have at least shattered my own personal best 3 minute stints :D

Go ahead and rebuild your suspension. I dont think you will regret it.

I have buildt it using the "how to" on Reflexracing.net, but tweaked it a bit to get it to work with the Atomic FS knuckles. These are 0,5mm lower than stock.

Settings are as follows:

Silver springs
Bottom shim (ride height): 0,5mm
Middle shim (camber): 0,5mm
Top shim (preload): 0,3mm
1 degree camber
30000WT K grease
