Note that FFR front alignment specifications are slightly different for independent rear suspension builds. Ride height The FFR recommended Roadster ride height is 4.5”, although a different height may be optionally set. The following alignment adjustments are made assuming a 4.5” ride height. Ride height is measured from the bottom of the main chassis tubing to the road surface.
