Anybody put shims underneath the lower suspension arm mounts? Installed the new lower suspension arms yesterday and they seem to sit much lower on the chassis than the old ones.

Anybody got a good starting set up for low to medium bite asphalt. My kit came with gold front springs that seem awfully stiff.

For front springs, I suggest using the Yokomo r12 black front springs. You should be able to find them at A Main.
For set up:
Front:
-2.0mm under knuckle, 0.5mm above. Rest of shims, use so that the upper arm and lower arm pivot balls don't bind on the eclip. I usually install 3 shims up top and the rest at the bottom
-0.3-0.5mm droop
-3.8-4.0 mm ride height
-3 degrees of caster
-1.5 deg of camber
-Kyosho 30,000 blue grease on tube
Rear:
-Kyosho 15,000 side tube lube
-RSD green side spring
-AE Gold Center Spring
-1.0mm pod droop
-30wt center shock.
-2mm under outside of side tubes
+2 mm wheelbase
4.0mm ride height
-170mm track width
-XRAY Side links
That should about cover it I think

-3.2-3.5 mm ride height
-3 degrees of caster
-1.5 deg of camber
-50K asc on tube
Rear:
-Asc 15k side tube lube
-RSD red or asc silver side spring
-AE Gold Center Spring
-2.0-2.5mm pod droop
-40wt center shock.
-2mm under outside of side tubes
No spacer on slider short wheelbase
3.5mm ride height
-172mm track width
-XRAY Side links
That should about cover it I think

^pretty close to what I'm running but I've been using the liner side springs. green iirc, and I'm also running the rsd center spring, can't remember which one right now.
