5. Front-End Ride Height Adjustments
The Kosmic Racing Kart has three (3) washers that are placed between the stub axles and the ‘C’ on
the Front-end of the chassis. Two (2) of the washers are special 4mm thick washers (PN 0215.00)
and one (1) standard 1.5mm thick washer (PN RP 10x16x1.5).
By altering these washers you will be effectively changing the front ride height. The chassis comes
standard with one 4mm washer on top of the stub axle and the remaining washers below the stub
axle. This is a recommended starting position at all venues.
RAISING THE FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
This is accomplished by placing washers from the bottom of the stub axle and placing them on top of
the stub axle. This has a positive effect on the entire chassis when the grip levels increase and the
chassis begins to understeer.
Essentially, the front ride height has been increased so, when the steering wheel is turned the inside
tyre is pushed/forced further into the track thus giving the driver a more positive feel (Front-Grip)
and it will result in a better handling chassis.
LOWERING THE FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
The process for lowering the front ride height is the exact opposite as raising the front ride height.
The advantages here are that the front-end will feel ‘lighter’ while losing some of its efficiencies.
This can also sometimes be good on high grip tracks where the driver has troubles driving on the
higher grip.
*Front-End ride height adjustments can make a big difference if applied correctly; however, this
adjustment is best saved after other adjustments have been made to your Kosmic.
