You can use your body reamer to make the shaft hole a tad bit bigger to fill the gap of the backorder! It works just fine too.
well thats what my dad has on his car, the hole is reamed with no clip, but it is still cracking, not nearly as bad or as fast in comparison to using clips, but since i figured im paying for a good paint job, i want this sucker to last, I plan to only use it for races, and or just our local points series, but then I see some guys using their fancy shmancy bodies all the time and their still in good condition lol. I just wanted to see if it was removing that tab was pretty common or not, it seems like there would be less stress on the body
For those of you running velcro on your bodies, have any of you just eliminated the rear tab that normally goes over the pin for the body clip? A buddy of mine bought a used b4.1 and they had it cut clean in the back with no tab, and in my eyes seems it would work well. I'm still using body clips but eventually that tab starts to crack off, my dad has velcro but still has the tab with no clip and it seems to slowly be cracking a bit too. I have a body being painted by a local guy and I plan to actually take care of it and thought about removing the tab to help it last a tad bit longer, any one else do this?

Hmm...Noticed Brian Shook was running that spring combo. Running stock seems to require more steering, my back end is too locked in with the yellows even, but i'll give this a try thursday at 4S if i can make it. What foam combo do you prefer? I've been running AKA red rear and PL closed cell front but will be going back to cut rear foams stuffed in the front, gold barcodes all 4 heavily sauced. Will back off the saucing on this new set of kicks though

I tried all of the combos this past weekend and this was by far the best combo in stock for both laptimes and feel. It might seem that the front is pretty soft but it does work!

Try running red fronts and yellow rears if you want to gain steering but maintain a decent rear balance of traction and rotation.

Do these fit properly? Are these parts a good idea for durability? I read reviews on the GH version and it was bad...said too much slop.
thx!
