Q. Is RRS strut & brake
kit better than original suspension set up? A. YES RRS strut provides a vastly
superior steering geometry and ride control & ride quality
with faster reaction time and decreased chassis stress
with 100% improvement on handling and accurate response.
RRS brake kits are lighter stop faster over distance
and are made from a stronger molycarbide material than
standard rotors.
Q. Can I get
replacement parts in case of accident or wear & tear
A. Yes all standard replacement
parts are available from main stream auto suppliers
Q. What do
I get in the strut & brake kit? A. You receive a full Strut assy.
complete with strut leg, top hat, springs, shock absorber,
Knuckle/spindle (which replaces the original stub axle),
forged alloy hub with 20% increase load bearing and
all attaching hardware & spanner PLUS detailed installation
instructions Plus brake package or your choice- including
rotors, callipers & brake lines.
Q. How easy
is it to fit? A Easy and simple to fit. Remove
the original suspension system, including the upper
control arm and simply bolt in pre-assembled strut leg
assy. into top of shock tower, connect brake package.
No special tools required. No welding or cutting.
Q. Will RRS
strut kit help my steering? A. YES - the original Ford steering
geometry was designed for cross-ply tyres. Modern radial
tyres require more accurate steering geometry to suit
low angles of tyre deflection. RRS strut improves track
on turn, bump steer, Ackerman angles and camber.
Q. Can I use
my original steering with the RRS strut & brake kit? A. Yes you can use your original
steering, in fact RRS products will All work in conjunction
with your original systems.
Q. Can I adjust
height? A. YES - there are two methods
available to raise your vehicle up to 1-inch or lower
it by as much as 3 ½ -inches
Q. Is it lighter
than original suspension? A. YES - the Strut assembly decreases
un-sprung weight by approximately 3kg.
Q. What type
of shocks do RRS use? A. RRS use top range revalveable
& rebuildable adjustable gas shocks with user friendly
4 point dial adjustable settings
Q. Do I have
to cut my towers out? A. NO - this is an optional procedure.
Available to gain up to 11" more space in the engine
bay for hi-port heads, big block or just to reach the
spark plugs! However you may well ask "is my Killer
engine being strangled by poor exhaust"?
Q. Does cutting
the towers cause stress on the chassis? A. NO in fact there is less stress
- RRS strut mounting eliminates 100% of stress exerted
on the middle of the tower caused by original Ford system.
The vehicle weight is primarily carried by spring and
shock location within the strut leg.
Q. Can I adjust
camber? A YES and with far more range
- it is easy to reach and adjust camber if required
with a ring spanner to maintain a full tyre to road
contact in hard cornering
Q. Will this
change the roll centre? A NO - the vehicle will be stable
in high speed corners with increase grip.
Q. Booster-
Can I use my original booster if I change to RRS front
strut & brake and RRS rear disc combination? A Yes however brake performance/pedal
feel may be compromised by modified cams or heads. Gemini
Booster & XA-XB disc/drum master cylinders work very
well on Mustang & XK to XP Falcon with 4 wheel discs.
Light car - good proportioning rate.
Q. Is there
any Warranty on RRS products? A. YES - RRS quality products
have a warranty of 12 months or 20,000 kms. RRS stand
by products of their design and manufacture.
