Well, if my info on spring rates is correct, I'm using 19 (HPI gold) up front and 17 (HPI silver) in the rear. Sway bars on both ends. Jack the Gripper compound on Sorex 28R tires. Traction and handling is excellent for stock, just as fast as any other car out there. Still trying to work the kinks out of the 10.5 setup.

Hey guys, I'm really glad to see so much discussion going on in here. It looks like there are a lot of questions regarding carpet setup (it is the season afterall). It seems like it would do a lot of good for me to take a weekend and hit up the carpet track out in AZ to try and gather some info to discuss on here. I'll try to get out there sometime in the next 3 weeks and then get back to you with findings.

*Now where does HB keep the keys to the company van?*

The Orion/Peak 3200 fits just fine, no mods required. Haven't tried any of the others.
