You're right about the droop and drs arm when changing the lower pin position. If you change the top pin's position you'll need to check camber. If you are referring to Schrijver99's change. I think he only changed the top point to the out position. That gives more steering into corners. With a one way and low grip that doesn't work. But with the ball diff in front it balances the car nicely.

Anyway, I notice that by going with the upper rear pin on the outer side (shorter upper rear arms, UBO), I need to turn the pivot balls out a lot to get -4 camber in the rear. The upper pivot ball is already turned in to the max. This makes the rear lower pivot balls very succeptible to stripping out of the plastic threads. The rear end trackwidth is 198 to 199 mm.
I also notice that with the stock shock lenghts in the rear (if I remember correctly, that was what I measured), I cannot get more droop in the rear than +6.
As for the rear diff, I notice that when the diff is cold, it gives a very tight setting. When the car comes in after a few good rounds, I notice that the diff will be slightly looser but then it stays constant. Just thought that people should notice this when checking diff settings of other cars...
If I use 4 mm spacers under the upper front arms to get a lower front roll center, I notice that I cannot use the lowest hole on the front shock tower.
Just some observations of mine.

I don't think the silicone fuel tubing is a problem but on a side note, I love how the original Serpent ones that come with the kit will last me !
The last I measured, I run mine at 20 cm. The delivery line with the inline Tornado fuel filter is as short as possible. Perhaps you can try running a fuel filter (mind the direction of the air) in the pressure line. Then you can run at shorter lengths.
Ummm, can you try and get hold of a different pipe? Perhaps borrow a spare one from a friend? I don't know but perhaps the pipe you're running sounds dodgy. My 2 cents.

Thank you... I have a Novarossi Inline pipe on backorder at Rc-Mushroom but am still waiting
I will keep you posted as too how i go though.

Shorter upper link = the speed (faster) of camber change.

The same went to the rear... Higher rear SPACERS (means higher roll center due to more angling in the rear arms) = less rear grip.

Yes D, I think so about the misperception when reading...
Have you tried putting the rear lower pin in its high position (= higher roll center)? what did you feel on the rear? I definetely felt it is more planted to the ground which is should not according to the setup book (which should be less grip)..
Also, sory D, I did not agree with this one.. longer amrs does not makes less or more of camber change.. the angle does
Another opinion as I remember to brough up now, shimming the upper deck by 0.9mm (just to make it as high as the one on front bullkhead) would have been really important to keep the chassis from unwanted tweak. The middle braket does not design to hold the upper deck for having angle. So when you force to screw angled upper deck, you will have tweak somewhere.. may not be on the 4mm chassis as the 2mm upper deck is more flexible as well as the plastic middle bracket...

There is a way to mod a little bit to make the diff runs much smoother without any grease applied. I think Goldfinger has more info about it.. which is the same noticable problem with the Xray T1 rear diff right before the EVO2 I believe (they changed the design I think).

Tweak
I know this has been answered but I have to ask myself so bear with me. I just setup my car and set the tweak before I hooked up both swaybars and upon doing so it is off now. So ultimatley I am going to set tweak according to whether or not I am using my swaybars? I mean the end result is to have a car's tweak perfect they way I plan on running it correct?
