carpet setup
what would you guys use for a some what tight carpet track, and ill be using a stockmotor.
With the optional camber link mounting holes, what would the handling difference be if I mounted the inner link further back? You know how the graphite camber mount has the four holes, in a two by two formation? I'm just wondering what the difference would be in having the camber link more/less parallel on the verticle plane...

the reason why the holes are not in a straight line (a la tc4) is that the extra holes are "half holes" taht is they are half way in between the other holes. naturally you cant overlap holes and still have strength so they just put the middle holes farther back (or forwards).
so only worry about where they are in/out not front/back.

Will let you know how goes.

I'm going to ask a silly question..........
How fragile is the Pro4? Is it sturdy, or do you find it to break suspension parts easily?
Thanks!
