I'm convinced mm will be better on my local low/medium bite clay indoor track with right setup. Love the corner speed it possesses. Interested in trying a rear stabilizer (sway) kit. Would a soft sway bar create more corner traction, if not.. What it's purpose? Thanks in advance.

Could someone in this tread do me a favor? I would like to know the shock shaft lengths and diameter. Also the piston exact diameter in mm for the rb6. I would like to find out if I can use the MIP bypass1 shock valves that fits the rb6 for my schumacher KF/KR.

They are bad
You could maybe use the plastic arm as the one that is not attached to the servo link. It will be less abused.

Drive carefully too

I ran the stock bellcranks with the alum. ackerman rack for well over a year and a half with out issues. Don't see any reason they wouldn't work. I just switched to the alum. bellcranks though, but kept the plastic kit ones as back ups.

I have had thecar since it came out and have only broken the stock plastic steering 2 times. It's plenty tough tough enough the only upgrades I have are the adjustable hangers and al .5 rear hubs.

Does the Exotek slider accomplish the same feeling as the Aluminum steering rack?

Is $500 for a roller to much? 3 weekends old with almost all the upgrades you can get on it.

most only use the alumium rack for strength..not sure on the feel? $500 is a lot for a used roller..350 tops for a car with all the options..i only want 250 for mine,another $100-150 and you can have most of the option stuff..you mainly need rear hubs..if you race stock the mip aluminum pucks
