Does anyone know the part number and an online parts store that I can buy a replacement manual? Or does some one have a pdf? Trying to figure out the shocks and how they mount.
Thanks

Tryhard: You are still correct on that since you don't have to toe out to get the steering entering the corner, w/c can provide better steering on power.

Stew : I forgot to mention that this will narrow your front-end so you would need to adjust the rear accordingly.

Not sure about where to get a manual from, have you tried contacting your distributor? might be able to point you int he right direction for one.

If you want, I can scan in the pages for the shock mounts. Off the top of my head, I think the std mounts are for one hole in on the top at the front, and fully out at the top on the rear.

Yup I was there, Didn't have much luck though. I had the white tamiya subaru on a 415.... oh and I won the D-final... (don't ask, had bad luck in Q, my finals time would have been good enough to bump me up to the top end of the B )

Yes. Use A for the rear-front and adjust the rear toe by changing the blocks of the rear-rear.

Hmm, I've been running with C/A on the front, but with B/D on the rear (LWT arms, so1 deg hubs, making 2 deg rear toe total)
I don't think you need to narrow the rear down, it's doesn't seem to cause a problem for me. Maybe it's something to try though.
I would hazard a guess though that a narrower car would seem very darty, and a bit unstable, just because the overall track is reduced. Not sure though, as I have never tried it.
