That set screw in the open hole, and a slightly longer ball stud cured that issue for me.

Agreed. Use a 10mm ball stud there.

Thanks. As said in my note above, so do I. however if you crash hard enough though (which, well, happens...) you will rip the ballstud off no matter what: lots of leverage there with the ball sitting like 7 or 8mm above the plastic with the standard 4mm shim. Not complaining, makes perfect sense, but frustrating sometimes as it's just a lack of plastic in the rear hub design me thinks...

(I know, I know, my fault for crashing...)

This one has the hole right in the middle of the two original positions, therefore it changes the outer link position.

Yes, but at least you have a choice of using a one hole version. It might even work better for you, who knows???

i ran it on both my USGT and VTA cars. Ended up keeping it the VTA, but ditching it for standard set up in GT. I needed more rear toe in gain, and stock setting is max gain. I tried to get the inner pins as straight as possible for my set up.

Most i I know that have tried it in TC and GT on black carpet end up going back to standard as well.

A friend is wanting me to help him mount a body on his 18 before a race this weekend. All I have is the 19. Are the “center” position on the front and rear body post the same as the body post on the 18?

Does anyone have a link for a T4 compatibility chart. I swear I saw one posted on either the '17, '18 or '19 threads but cannot find it anywhere?

It showed the required parts to upgrade the various chassis and backward compatibility.

Also if fitting the SLP shock towers on the '19, is the only option to drill holes for the pins or grind off the pins?
