vmax540 oval setup help

[crwdog]

alright... got the '84 home lastnight
couple of questions poped into my head as I sat there looking at it..

1) can anyone give me a description how to lower the tss suspension. think its easy, but need someone to hold my hand and explain it to me
2) do you think I can remove the tunnel heat exchangers and just run the radiator? ice oval track 1/3 mile...5-7 laps per race. Just dont think the exchangers will help much anyway...

thanks for the help and opinions

I'm working on the T.S.S. lowering and will let you know what I come up with......? I know some have removed the rear exchanger and from what they say have no overheating problems. Some say the 540 was over cooled and from what I've seen I tend to agree ?

thanks... looks like a buddy will be racing a phazer II in the 500cc fan IFS class also. Thus we both need help lowering the front.
I want to get the track into the tunnel some and the heat exchangers will not allow stud clearance

You basically remove the strut can and replace the lower spring seat......the lowering tube is the lower spring seat. The longer the tube the greater the drop. I believe the ones that I have will give about a 2" drop over stock. If you want a set the ones that I have are forsale.
