- shocks located in the middle holes on the shock towers (took a guess here)
- just under 6mm ride height front/rear
- 2.5mm over ride height droop front
- 2mm over ride height droop rear
- no anti-roll bars (didn't have time to finish building them)

After describing the lack of steering (push) to Jochim, he advised I lower the front inside roll center from 3mm+1mm shims to 3mm shim and remove the .5mm front wheel spacers. This made a huge improvement but it still needs more steering. He continued to advise moving to 1C mounts. This car is for 17.5 blinky.

Are you saying the stock setup is already narrower?

What do you advise for a small, tight track with medium traction? We have lots of 90-180* turns.
