FRONT SUSPENSION The NT1 kit comes with both types of front anti-roll bars; blade-style or wire. Decide which anti-roll bar to use. Blade anti-roll bar (Alternative 1) is recommended for long, fast tracks when maximum cornering speed is needed. With the blade anti-roll bar, the car will not dive in the corners and will maintain maximum speed.

INITIAL SETTING BUMPSTEER SETTING The new NT1 has decreased bumpsteer by 4mm compared to the previous version. The thickness of shims changes the angles of the steering linkage. When no shims are used, the car has maximum steering response and in-corner steering. By adding shims, the car becomes less responsive, but easier to drive.
