A question for you guys ...

I'm running 2.17 CRC fronts and it seems that with that tire size I need to use about 4mm of ride height spacers .. but that causes a couple of problems, one is that if the servo is angled then the turnbuckled will hit the castor blocks. What are you guys doing in this situation?

Secondly, the sliver 3mm flathead screws that screw into the bottom of the arm assembly are too short, using normal 3mm screws won't work because the silver ones actually have a smaller head on them, that sets them into the graphite piece so they sit flush against the chassis. Does TOP have longer versions of these screws (10mm, 12mm)?

Also had a thought .. on the kingpin, the stack goes like

0.5mm shim
2.0mm shim
Top Arm
1.0 mm shim
3.0mm shim
Steering Knuckle
Bottom Arm

Can I move the Steering Knuckle up without affecting any settings? Just moving the shims around a bit. This would help with ride height, but does it change roll center or anything else?

0.5mm shim
2.0mm shim
Top Arm
2.0mm shim
Steering Knuckle
2.0mm shim
Bottom Arm

Thoughts?
