Does anyone have a part number for the aluminum balls included in the kit that fit in the lower shock ends? Is anyone using those there or are you using plastic?

There were some goldish gunmetal balls that you can see some people using in the shock ends. I would just like to see who's using them and their opinions.

I will have to race it tonight in mid as I don't have time to change back. Tonight will really be the test.
Look forward to your post on how the "real" test went.

Always lunsfords I have an assortment of lengths, so naturally they are longer than the stock ones. Couldn't tell you how long, but approx 3mm longer than stock

I used 10mm lunsfords, I believe that was the longest I could find in 4.8.

Not sure on the set up, the track will definetly have traction, but will have an affect on tires and wear, tires will probably be 1 runs. Were gonna be trying some different tires and see how they last. My son has been using Tebos setup from WCRC-Reedy, and is extremely happy with it, we've went to a few other tracks with it and has only change tires

Okay cool, was just making sure it wasn't going to affect anything major, tires will still be bar type, I've already ordered tires. But can buy tires there if needed...plan on either trying that setup or the SRS setup on Petit.

What tires do y'all typically run? Trying to get opinions!

Default tires

Usually SRS is ran wet, so trying dry track is hard, but theres 2 indoor tracks here that we practice on, and Brandon favors the HB Beams or PL Suburbs. Theres only probably 2-3 locals that run K cars so were scarce right now

Well there will be two K cars coming from Texas for sure. I'm pumped! Still waiting on a few odds and ends, and tires to get here!
