Here is a question for anyone that runs 28mm Jacos for carpet.

When I first got my kit i set it up for carpet because that is all that we have right now in Vegas.

On the front suspension arm I place my shock in the second hole form the outside. On the back suspension arms, I place the shock in the middle hole and this is from Hara's setup sheet for the 05 IIC.

when I placed my tires on the car, because of the shock positions on the suspension arms, my back tires rub the bottom of the shock and on the front, the tires rub the shocks when turning.

To remedy this, i have placed 2mm wheel hexes inside of the tires and it gives me clearance.

Where my concern comes in is that my car measures exactly 190mm without any budging room at all and I know that they measure your car at the IIC and I am worried about not making the legal 190mm measurment that they do at tech.

I do plan on purchasing the 26mm 2 stage tires from Jaco to combat this issue but I am buying them also because of so many drivers liking the tire.

I was wondering if anyone else ran into this and what you did to correct it?

I placed this question about 2 pages back but got no response. Can you guys read it and give me any suggestions. Thanks.

Elboogie-Scotty and Boomer dont Check for width, as long as your wheel dont stick out the side of the body like a REDNECK 78' Camaro you will be GOOD. I ran at IIC last year and width was not a issue, weight, wing height and ride heighwas it you can shave your wheels down on the tire truer, i do it every year at the Snowbird's.

I've several of you guys post on here about the different greases you use in the cvd's for this car so I thought I'd post what I use. It's very clean, dry and very effective. I used their teflon version and don't like it as well and I've used White Lightening but I think this Finish Line Krytox Wax lube is the best so far. Let me know what you think. You can find it at most any bike shop.

Are you talking about in the actual cross joints of the universals or where the universal sits in the cups? The cross joints in my car get so badly worn because i hate pulling them apart and never clean them DoH!
