You need two 1mm (one for each side) shock spacers (they are smaller od) for the rear pivot block and then you shave the nipples off the tranny case where it attaches to the camber plate and glue (dab of CA) two 1mm std spacers (again one for each side) and this will raise the tranny 1mm. Really helps the car stay stable on power. Just another tuning aid. Kind of like a lot of the team was playing with raising the pivot block on the XXXCR.

How would you do this mod on the mid motored setup? Basically the same way?

Will be running in the UK on high grip astro and carpet
