I checked and I had went longer links but forgot to add the extra 1MM spacer on the inner ball studs so I went ahead and added that but I'm worried about how short the threads are now so I'm going to order some of the 8MM ball studs and replace them hopefully before I race again. I installed the DCJ's and replaced the snapped pin, it seems like the center milled section is the weak point as I found the other end of the pin inside the rear arm still and the center section had sheared off. At first I thought this is a "weakness" and I should change to some solid pins I have but then it hit me, if I can get away with breaking a ~$1 part Vs. a $3 arm or hub.. I'll take the pin, so It's now a Kudos to Spec-R for making them this way!
As a side note, the DJC's came preassembled, should I take them apart and rebuild them and replace the grease/oil they shipped with and heat shrink them?
