when assembling the rear arms, they do not move up and down freely with the 2mm toe in clip, what can i do to resolve this issue? with the clip in it pushes the back out and thats when it binds, with the clip out it moves up and down freely. has anyone else had these problems if so what was the answer.
thanx in advance

The instructions advise that you may have to sand down the clip a little to maintain free operation of the arm, this ensures that the arm has zero slop but also allows free movement.

This is what I do, too.

But as Glide says - try running your car a little first as everything needs to bed-in. Then and only then, sand the spacers a little until everything works smoothly.
Cheers, Mark.

Sanding does help, a dremel will get faster results if you have a steady hand. A disaster if you have a heavy hand.

I've placed orders a few times on a Sunday and had the parts delivered on the Thursday!!! Thats from Holland to Germany which is pretty good going
I don't order from virtually anyone else these days.

For example last week I wanted to order the Xray anti-roll bar kits - I couldn't find them on the site
I emailed [email protected] and within a couple of minutes it was on the site, so I could place my order. A few days later my order came! You can't ask for better service than that.

Let me know [actual $$, tax,paypal & s/h; I'm not looking to make a dime] and I'll call them and let you know if they are in stock and when I could get them & sent.
BTW, they usually beat Stormer's hobbies prices by about 10%, which would make up the difference in the tax and help cover some of the other charges. Xray is a prdominant ran kit at the track, so he does pretty well by the racers and their commonly needed kits/parts.
