Another quick tip when building the shocks:
According to the manual you have to use two special rubber shims on the bottom of the shock to keep it from leaking. I prefer to use one rubber shim and one 1.5mm regular aluminum one for smoother shock operation. Seen from the piston side of the shock shaft its piston - rubber shim - alu shim - shock end cap.
Another helpful trick to get rid of shock rebound easily is to drill a 1mm hole in the top plastic shock cap so the air between the bladder and the cap can get out when (re)building.
Have fun with your new kit

Im curious to see what you guys think about a convo i had with a fast racer at my local track...his preference was the plastic a-arms being that they may flex a bit more ....i personally think you wouldnt be able to notice a substantial difference between the too other then strenght under impact.

You will notice a rather huge difference! Back in the days when I drove with the Yokomo BD-5 we started out with plastic suspension as it came with the kit. Switching to a carbon suspension made the car much more responsive to setup changes and way more precise to drive. Especially in high traction conditions..

ok cool im gonna get a spare set of the long and short arms just too experiment ....should i bother getting the tf6 chassis or just stick with the sp chassis for carpet?

Anytime
For pro-stock use short suspension instead of the long one (tarmac and carpet)
