You can make yourself some ghetto-ones like these with the originals, just flip them over and shim on the screws so the "humps" do not make holes in the graphite, it should be the same as these new ones

I'm running outdoor asphalt with 26mm foam. 415 stock suspension, stock chassis, with DOUBLE deck. I dont think any chassis combination will be any stiffer than that and it running quite well. However the drop steup will be very sensitive. I virtually change no camber/toein (locked to camber 1.5R/0F, toein 3R/-1F) but drop only during driving.

Tried lower rear RC today but doesn't like the feeling, pushing heavily during corner exit. Roll back to old setting next week.

I don't own the MS...but it might be because the MS has a narrower width than the stock 415. If you could use pivot blocks that widen the car that might solve your problems.

Would anyone have a solution to high speed understeer?? The rest of the car seems to be handling pretty well and consistant. I'm using ALMOST the box settings from the MS but with XB, B on rear and A D on front. 1.5 degree camber, 4 deg castor. Also.... I'm running in Modified.

I would go back to the std toe in blocks, youre running a wide front narrow rear, this will make it more stable in the rear, i like running mine narrow front wide rear, really turns in hard.
