the shorty makes the b4 quite a bit more nimble.

i measured it and its 48mm. sticks out alittle from the speedo in the front, so i dont see 45mm being a problem either, as long as you run 2mm spacer for full pack. like i said 1mm spacer works with a full pack on my setup, but id suggest the 2mm - i have not cared to change mine back to 2mm.

I lightened up my front shock oil and changed my tires from green barcodes to m4 suburbs and it is awesome!

I have been running my B4.1/2 three days a week for about the past four weeks at the local track. I have ask all the fast guys about their set up as far as tires and shock oil and pistons and foams and battery position. I have come to the conclusion that not everyone's setup will work for me, even with their best efforts to try to help. In the last week I stopped banking on what works for everyone else, and started to learn what works for me and my driving style by trial and error. Granted i'm not running the same springs or times as the fast guys but I shaved about two seconds off of "my" lap times in a week.

I appreciate everyone's help at the track greatly, but I feel I used their info to help me learn more about my car and how to tune it in the right direction.

That's a good way to go about it. Pretty much what I do is trial and error too. I learn a lot that way. I wouldnt expect to copy my local pro setup it just wouldnt work. However I can tell him what is wrong with my car and he can help me get it tuned in faster. Just make sure you are asking the right question "What spring should I run" Not "what are you running".

This is what most people asking for setups don't understand

One thing I have learned though the years is to trust the Ae factory driver's set-ups because they are proven to perform well ...

Better then guessing and learning the hard way ....
