Hi Paul,

I have a couple of questions ..

1. I've started to see alot of setups that are using the 50mm drive shafts front and rear, what does that do for the car in terms of handling?

2. For the shims that you use for the camber links (hub side front and rear), it seems that the rear always has more shims than the front, is there a reason that almost all setups are this way?

3. For track-width, is there a difference in adding shims to the bulkheads vs. using offset wheel hubs? For instance, in your cleveland setup you have the front shimmed out 2.25 per side as well as using the +0.75 offsets, could you have shimmed it out to 3.0 instead and not use the offsets? or do they address different things in terms of handling.

4. On the T3'11 setup sheets, where it specifies Flex, there is a box that says "ECCenter" with options for "Standard" and "1", what adjustment is that refering to?

Thanks in advance.
