How To: Install Reflex's Side Damper System

Slight modification is needed on the upper carbon fiber piece. You will drill a 2mm hole, 4mm back from the original holes.

This picture illustrates how it should look.

Now take the provided 18mm screw and tighten it down with an M2 nut.

Next, you need to install the provided lock nut on the screw. Notice the distance measured is from the plate, to the top of the lock nut.

To get a little extra clearance, you must clip off the front right screw hole on the carbon fiber plate. Notice how we don't cut the whole thing off though.

You can now install the carbon fiber plate with the two rear screws.

Next, take the upper brace for the damper system and install the screw for the top shock.

Install the top shock on the brace, using an M2 nut once again. Don't be afraid to crank it down.

For the next step, screw in the brass ball end towards the back of the slot. The piece is designed to be used without a nut (due to clearance issues with a Pan Car body), so it should be self-threading. If you want, you can always use a 2.5mm nut on the back of it.

Once you have lubed up your side shock, prepare to install it on the car. You will use the 2 washers provided with the kit underneath the screw-in ball end on the motor mount.

For high grip tracks, we suggest to start with 15000 wt, (what is provided on the shock) bumpy tracks and lower grip, something in the 5000-7000 wt should be adequate for a starting point.

Pop the ball end on the right side of the car and voila! You now have a Reflex Racing side damper set-up on your car! Feel how smooth the suspension is!

Another view shows how simple and clutterless this set-up is.

For a Pan Car Set-up, we cut the top shock rear screw a bit in order to get better clearance. Notice how we also cut the brass ball end threads flush with the suspension brace.

Looks good huh? Quit drooling and go smoke everyone, that way we can sell more damper tube set-ups. ;)
