Hmmm. Well I have an extra set of pins. Maybe I'll just cut them down now and swap them in.
Thanks for the tip.

I headed back for some practice today and after the first pack I pulled some stuff apart to see if I had bent any pins. Nothing bent but I did notice that the arms were bound between the blocks some. When I swapped this setup in I didn't notice but I had to take .5mm out to get them nice and free in there. I think it may be because I only have the stock shim and I think it doesn't register against the pillow block but against the insert instead. I'll get the right shims and change that.
Then I spent the day messing with this thing and worked my lap times down a bit more. I still can't say that this chassis setup made huge differences fowr me but it is working nicely and seems to have a good setup window. I also find it easier to mess with these toe blocks than the stock ones so that's an improvement IMO. I'm leaving here now with a car that went .2 sec faster than yesterday in the race so I'm happy.

The pillow balls actually stick out very slightly from the plastic inserts, so I took a file to the ends of them so that they no longer stuck out.
I can now use the metal Xray shims without any binding.

Are the stock RX4 pins silver or gold?

So, who has gone the RX4 route and have a 2014 car. Do you see an improvement in the 2014 over the RX4?
What do you think is better about the 2014 or RX4?
I planned to buy a 2014 in the spring to run outdoor and would move my current RX4 car to my backup/spare car. I'm curious if it's worth getting one now or not.
Thanks,
