I was wondering what would happen to your shock position. The shock angle will change right? Or should you compensate it with spacers or some other off-set construction? To illustrate: the position of the shocks on the shocktower will stay the same, but if you move the suspension arms (in your case to the front) the shock's bottom position will change, i.e. there will be an angle. How will this influence the driving caracteristics?
And to continue, how do you compensate (if you do), or how will the driving caracteristics be influenced if you move the rear and front suspension arms to the rear?
Hope I didn't ask to many questions.
Thanks

If you move everything to the rear, the car will mellow out on corner entry and have better more rear end grip.

Yes it's true, after 4 year with Schumacher, I'm trying something new. I'm picking up a car on Saturday. I'll be in here a bunch once I get a good feel for the car.
I ran 4 or 5 laps with Randy's car last weekend and was really impressed. I'm really looking forward to having something new to work with at the track.

That's awesome bro...the car is really good and simple to set up and get working right away. With Randy's experience w/ the car the last month or so should defenitely give you guys a tremendous edge.

As mentioned before I'm driving stock class (5 cell) and want to drive the comming weekend with a ratio of 4.5. Now I can reach that with a 102 spur and a 49 pinion, but I can also install a 92 spur and a 44 pinion, or a 98 spur and a 47 pinion etc. Does the size of the spur/pinion affect my speed or other thing on any way? Please let me know.

The S400 ball diff is much better than the HB Cyclone diff...the S400 diff screw doesnt snap, and its abit lighter for better acceleration.
THe S400 front Spool is much better too, and its much sturdier and the S400 drive train just pulls out harder out of corners and shoots straight to where you aim..all out.
THe S400 composites are stronger and better quality, and much cheaper: $3.50 for a pair of C-Hubs. No match.
Corner speed- the S400 is carries better corner speed. It stays a bit flatter on high speed corners better.
