Not looking for ones that are soft like the aluminum ones, actually looking for I believe it is grade 5 titanium or one step up, like I said I am still doing research and a lot of it at that.

Getting back in to the sport, sold all of my (mostly touring car) tools back when. What do I need to measure on a buggy for setup? Tool preferences?

cool. If you find a good source, I will probably join in if the pricing is good and you can find the same grade.

I could tell no difference between avid and Casper's one piece thrusts.

They probably get them from the same company.

Which slipper should I use for stock?

Should I use the exotek locked slipper to save weight - or does that make it drive poorly

Is anyone having luck using the old b4 twin plate slipper? Is there a disadvantage in stock to using the new heavier multi-plate slippers?

I hadn't noticed you suggested AVID. I like the ones from Casper because he's a small company and is on here all the time answering questions. That's all. Seems like a nice guy.

I got a chance to take some photos of WC's B5M and the individual parts he modified. Pretty interesting stuff, I haven't tried it on my car but I wanted to share the photos.

For ride height the newish ghea ride height gage is very nice. Most of us have at least one or more of the camber gages the kit comes with. Not sure what else you would measure!

VERY clean looking too. I very much dislike the stock setup but that looks very, very nice. I might have to try that out.

Has anyone compared the weight bias between the inline vs. stock configuration?

I think he means the weight over the wheels not the total weight.
