you're running the exotek right?
I have put .3 mm shims under the screws that support the steering uprights. I also changed the gear and shaft in the transmission to the 3 racing alum FF03 one. (same size, legnth and teeth.)-no one will know unless they request you to take apart your transmission it reduces the heat in the transmission, and the gears dont expand as much due to heat.
A personal "trick" i have done was I used the 1mm spacers to raise the rear suspension only. It helps the rear slide out a little more.
I have also used a TON of ceramic grease in the diff. i coated each gear and installed them. there are some spots where it accumulates and will drip onto the gears.
I have changed ALL ball joints to the the flourine coated ones.

As far as setup, I have put 3mm spacers on the diff side of the camber adjusters
