that's pretty much the defacto type-r foam setup, we tend to run 2-3 washers on the rear camber link on the hub. What the heck was Johnson running a type-r for?? no more phi??

With you guys running a ballstud setup on the from (instead of jr link), what tyres are you running. I have heard lots of comments about how much better it is but I tried it and it did excactly what I expected... less steering. So much so I missed a wide open turn and ran off the track. Either i am missing something or you guys are running on crazy amounts of grip. As it stands I think there is only one setting for the front for rubber asphalt.

Back to diffs now. Have many ppl tried different diff balls? What are you thoughts?

I don't worry about that anymore though as I'm running the TP5000 40C.

can you be more specific. the 40c has the wires exiting from thefront left top corner. i don't see how this will fit without grinding on the top deck.

thanks for the help.

Chris, get a TP pack and dont look back. The car needs no mods for the pack to fit and its the fastest pack around. Cheaper than SMC too. And you know I wouldnt bs you buddy.

See you next weekend.
