Sorry for OT but anyone happen to know where I could pick up a exotek slipper eliminator (aside from Stormer that wants $8 in shipping for one)?

I'm adjusting my trailing arm to 3mm, what does it mean "rear caster block wheelbase shim" should be 1mm middle? I know it's been discussed here already but I can't find the post explaining it to me. Is it referring to the rear hub spacing?

According to Exotek, the TRF201 is compatible with the B5 one and is in stock. I assume it is the exact same dimensionally, only probably slight differences in anodizing color. Mike should be able to confirm.

A buddy and I have wondered this same thing but have come to the conclusion that it really is not needed on this car, but I would still like to try it lol

I tried that, the guy I bought from ended up having none in stock and the only other one on ebay is from the UK.

Over the years I've had so many people step up and help me out with things that I try to return the favor whenever possible. Should we be at the same race and you beat me with it I want it back having fun is the bottom line.

I doubt anybody has, or would need to. And only if you were already running the softest spring you can, and needed to go softer.

Drilling a 4th inner hole will not stiffen the rear, it will soften it.
