Would you recommend the standard TRF shocks for normal duties and only switch to the aeration ones when grip is poor?

What's the purpose of putting the grub screw in the motor mount?

Luckily, we didn't have the same tyre issues in stock, other than the huge difference from first run to third run.
99% of the time I use the normal HL dampers because I find them more consistent and don't have to be rebuilt as frequently. The aeration shocks provide a little more traction which was good on used tyres

The grub screw lets the motor mount flex more helping with on power grip

Did you feel difference between aeretion and standard shocks
PS compliment for your TQ
Thanks!

The top deck was cut at the front from the "Y" to the hole above the steering rack. It made the car smoother in the high speed chicane. After trying it I think I will always run my top deck cut from now on
