I run 2.5mm of shims in the front with the NARROW hex adapters. Just seemed to handle better. As far as breakage, I've broken a few shock towers from very odd high speed crashes, one steering knuckle, a few cracked 75% arms, and bent a cvd bone. For having the car since march and for a smuch racing I do thats not bad at all.
As far as the traction rolling, the stock .9mm pistons didnt work for me at all on rubber. I like the 1.3mm pistons or even tamiya 3 hole pistons with a thin shim on top fit in the corally shocks. I think the dampening is just too thick, because my car felt very strange when I ran the .9mm pistons on rubber tires. You can try running a slightly stiffer setup or even gluing the sidewalls of the tires helps to a certain extent. CS-27's, Sorex 28R's and ING 22's and 25's are the only tires I ever use on carpet really. Hope this helps a little bit.

I just built my first RDX and I'm wondering if there have been any issues with running a front diff that's required to face the opposite direction of the rear. Does the front ever loosen itself because the bolt is on the right side instead of the left, like in the rear?

BTW, just to clarify, I do already run the Rubberneck front bumper, just not the one with the Bud's Kydex one underneath it. I'm 99.9% sure that my problems will be cured by spacing the drive axles away from the diffs further.

i clean the rubber tires after each run ,,, i am racing on carpet,,, and doing everything i should be doing we have to use jack the gripper so its not like paragon ground effects and super super sticky its a milder sauce
i am running rob michaels novak race setup exactly except for i am using the .9mm pistons that came with my car and his setup calls for 1.3mm pistons
