I got the car on its wheels on Wednesday night and was wondering if anyone had any tips for initial suspension settings - I've got the mushroom inserts facing the front, but other than that the rest is guesswork.

Thanks

wow he has a patio in his garage

or is it a garage on the patio ?

The patio furniture has had to go out in the garden since the Indy arrived!

I would suggest that a starting point would be everything vertical and pointing straight ahead.

There is not much point doing anything other than basic settings till the car is all but finished. After that you can decide if you want a bit of negative camber, toe, etc

Just one thing...make sure the front upper wishbones are the correct way round!

You need a truly flat level floor, make 4 blocks up the same thickness as the ground cleance under the chassis you intend to run, remove the shock absorbers and lower the car on to the blocks, pump the tyres up the same pressure all round say 20 psi, you can then start adjusting the camber toe-in and checking everything is pointing in the intended direction..
