Evo
Did some durability testing over the weekend and the car held up well. For those just building the kit and are concerned about spares this is what I've broke...
1. Bent stock turnbuckle
2. Bent front dog bone
Both happened on the sweeper off the straightaway.

1. The setup sheet shows more holes than exist on the car. So if I am using a setup sheet how do the holes on the sheet align with the ones in the car? ie outermost holes line up and you count inward from there?
2. The camber links seem long and I'm having difficulty tightening them up enough for appropriate camber while using the second from outermost hole on the car. Is there an upgrade/alternate set of camber links to use in those situations?

The only thing I hadn't researched is whether or not the FFG bulkheads mount the same distance apart from front to rear, and utilize the same mounting points.

I use the collars under the top deck screws, so most of the lateral flex is controlled by the chassis itself. The main reason I'm looking to upgrade is to move to a narrower chassis plate.

Outdoors I'm going to try--
Raceberry hard
C01al
C01l
My hand cut up c01l that I ran all last summer (and at iic)
Testing this stuff is 1/2 the fun...

samsking - yes, for 17.5 you can get away without the brace on a L car.
