My buddy ran his on high grip last night, said it felt like his centro but with better rear traction.

Sadly yeah. AE will take care of it for your, but definitely not cool when your excited about a new build. As bad as you feel, think about Nick down at AE trying to deal with all of these issues nationwide, lol. IMO he needs a raise, lol.

Can't post a image for, only one ball stud on a rear hub correct ?

Place 1/2 m washer under stud and assemble as normal.

So how did you guys get the eyelets on? Im clamping the shock shaft with pliers and a towel so I don't scratch the shaft, but they wont thread on.

Then you're gonna hate what I'm doing

First week, ran full kit setup except for 27.5/25 oil (shorty pack, total weight 1515g) car was as good as my 22 1.5 was.

Second week, we had a new layout and the car had the dreaded push that so many are saying the car has. Went to 3mm trailing on the front axles and dropped the rear link down to carbon hub/shaved U-brace height. (flipping the plugs in the hubs and zero washers inside) Car had plenty of steering but I wouldn't say too much.

Extreme, maybe. But because I suck I like extreme so I can feel a noticeable change, and then dial it back down from there.

Overall, I'm happy with the car.

Some of the best money you'll spend. I went for years doing what you're doing. I now guard these with my life

Shock shaft pliers or the smooth inside of the handle of some needle nose or nippers.



Or the handle side inside of something like these:



Note the lack of teeth behind the hinge on the handle side of the hinge. That's what I have used for years, before shock shaft pliers were a thing. Don't need to use a towel.

I don't hate that at all. That's a relatively minor change actually. That's actually close to running the hub link up with 1-2 washers. It's just a rear roll center change that doesn't affect camber gain much. It's changing the camber link lengths that are almost always a bad idea to change

Your changes sound quite reasonable and correct. Zero hate received.

I got the mail today that my b5m in Germany is going to arrive in the next couple of days. Nice one.

Which shock oil would you suggest for highgrip astroturf outside? Thought about 25/35 or 30/40.

Are there oils included in the kit to create a "Basis" Setup? Just wondering

I read the guys post who quoted you and then your quote of him...read it all too fast and got your comment all wanky wrong

So no, I've got no plans to change any rear camber link lengths that's for sure.
