The Set-Up system comes flat packed with minor assembly required, this entails attaching the self adhesive graduated transfer sheet to the Set-Up board with a little care to ensure that it is central, the front and rear upright prisms then have to be assembled, the front ones are left and right handed because of the castor graduations marks etched into the rectangular upright plate that clamp to the wheel hub, the triangular plate with the camber graduation marks then fix to the upright plate with grub screws and pivot on smooth running bearings, the rear upright do not have the castor graduation marks so are therefore not left or right handed, but assemble exactly the same way as the front prisms. There are a further 2 Plexiglass plates that come in the kit which with the chassis set up on the prisms span the 2 front and 2 rear prisms located in precision

Before mounting the chassis into the prisms the first adjustment is to set the down-stops, this is completed with the front and rear Anti-Roll bars and shock absorbers disconnected because these affect how far the wishbones drop, the chassis is then placed on the support blocks, ensure there is no rock in the chassis which can happen if the chassis plate is scuffed. You can then check the down-stops using the stepped graduated gauge underneath the hub carriers on the chassis, move the gauge slowly back and forth under the hub carrier adjusting your down-stops to your required height as you go until you can feel the slightest resistance without deflecting the wishbone, complete this to all four corners of the car ensuring that both left and right rear are the same and left and right front are the same although front to back will be different. With the down-stops adjusted refit the shocks and Anti-Roll bars, mount the prisms to the chassis ensuring the front ones are correctly handed and secure gently using your wheel nuts, press down and release the chassis 2 or 3 times to allow it to settle and find it's natural position. If this is the first time that you have used the Set-Up system, by reading off the graduated scales at this point for both the camber and toe-in before making any alterations your'll discover just how far out your original settings have been. First you need to set your ride height using the threaded collars on the shock bodies and measure using the graduated wedge from the Set-Up system, remember that the hole centres on the prism uprights are 33mm from the base, therefore if you are using a 60mm diameter tyre the radius of that tyre will be 30mm, you have to subtract the tyre radius from the prism hole centre then add that figure to your required ride height in order to achieve the correct ride height with the chassis sitting on its tyres.

Example: Prism hole centre 33mm, tyre radius 30mm, required ride height 5mm, 33-30=3mm + 5mm ride height = 8mm ride height measured on prisms.

With the ride height now set front and rear the next setting to be completed is the camber which is set using your pivot balls and measured by reading the identification mark on the rectangular upright plate against the graduated scale on the triangular plates, normally these will be set the same left to right but occasionally when running foam tyres if you experience uneven wear (coning) more on one side than the other, this can be compensated for by by deliberately running different cambers left to right (Caution: when increasing negative camber this will reduce your ride height and vice versa, so recheck your ride height after each adjustment). With the cambers set the final setting is the toe-in/toe-out, NOTE: you should never run toe-out on the rear. Place the top Plexiglass plates onto the front and rear prisms, starting with the rear slide the plate fully to the left, this will align the indicator and graduated scale on the right rear prism and will indicate the current toe-in reading, adjust the toe-in using the pivot balls until the required setting is reached, double check that your camber setting has not altered. Slide the top plate fully to the right to align the left rear indicator and graduation scale then adjust as the right side, complete the same procedure for the front of the car, always make sure to double check your camber settings.
