thank you in advance.

It has the same effect, but we don't generally feel like we need it with the 2.0 like we did with the 1.0.

yep he just reinforced that it was not a fluke last year. He was really fast. RM looked to be struggling all weekend, but Phend was on top of it all weekend long. He had a real shot at 4x4 buggy also, but a couple mistakes cost him.

This is the 1mm spacer between the inner bearing and the CV joint referenced in the assembly manual.

Raising the tranny on the 1.0 was to increase rear traction on exit. I would think for astro you would be looking to free up the car so not sure this is a change for you to even play with.

OK, thanks. I humbly suggest a checkbox on the setup sheet for it.

Thanks
