•
Once desired ride height and cross weight % is achieved, set the sway bars to neutral by adjusting the end link
lengths such that the sway bar can be reconnected without loading it.
•
After the desired weight distribution is achieved, align your vehicle. Recommended Toe Settings are 1.5mm out
on both front tires (3mm out total) and 1mm in on each rear tire (2mm in total). A very good starting point for
camber is 2.8 degrees in the front and 3.0 degrees in the rear.
13.0 Dampers:
•
The vehicle is equipped with 2-way adjustable Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) dampers by Multimatic.
o
Front Damper is Mazda Part Number 0000-04-5616
o
Rear Damper is Mazda Part Number 0000-04-5617
•
The Dampers adjust 0 through 11 for Compression (Bump, Blue) and (Rebound, Red) using a square ended 4mm
Allen key.
o
It is important that you do not use a ball end Allen key to make these adjustments, this could cause the
Allen key receiver to strip out. A correct 4mm Allen key is provided in the Trunk kit.
o
An increase in the valve setting causes an increase in compression or an increase in rebound.
o
We recommend starting in the center, 5 Compression / 5 Rebound and adjusting from there as needed.
o
Note that there is a stop pin that prevents the valve from continuously rotating See figure 10.

Dynamic Suspension by Multimatic will make available their SpecFinder
TM
Software that is a fully predictive
computerized simulation that precisely models the hydraulic flow of the DSSV damper spool valves. This can be
used to help better understand the magnitude of changes made with valve adjustments. More information on
this tool will be provided in 2016.
•
The Damper valve block is sealed with a tamper proof label. Evidence of removal or tampering with these seals
will be cause for disqualification and or fines in Global MX-5 Cup Competition. Valve work may only be done
through Long Road Racing in conjunction with Mazda Motorsports and Multimatic.
