I don't stock the CVA rebuild kits but have sets of four new CVA kits for $30. Check out the store if you want.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
short links give you quicker response and more initial turn in but less mid corner. long links give you more roll which equals grip in the middle of the corner!! but you get less response! so he is running short link on front to get the initial response because he is running soft springs and he is running the long link on the rear to create an off balance which causes rotation, which is similar to generating more mid steering but with a stable feel! and he is using the higher rear roll centre to make the car again more stable but it also lets the front move around happily which is more or less the balance he feels happy with!!

The spacers go between the bulkhead and the inner hinge pin mounts.

Default Build the slipper spool...

I'm running out of JAAD-Outdrives so i have to give the
AE Slipper-Spool a try now.

Question: i read somewhere that there is a better way to build the spool than
following the manual (to prevent from slipping).

Your thoughts on this?

Thanks....
