CVD's RUbbing
 
Does anyone have a problem with the rear CVD's rubbing the springs? I have the car length at the middle position (spacer on either side). I know they're rubbing cause the CVD's got a shiny spot on them. Is something amiss with the way I put the car together? Thanks for any help in advance.

I used a longer screw and washers on the top to move it away from the CVDs.

You can do two things here that I have done. Put another nut(ON TOP) on screw to make the top part of the shock move more to the rear or you can cut the wider servo spacers that came with the tc3 kits and place them in the same place as an alternative. As with the front if you use 2 or 4 degree castor I shave the c hub so that the spring cup and spring have free movement. I also do the nut or spacer thingee to the front shocks for clearance. When racing every little thing makes a difference.

however long it takes to get the gunk out. Break the seals and they'll really run free. Lots of maintenance though.

I soak my bearings in STP Fuel injection cleaner overnight.

As to bodies, I find that the Alfa Romeo 2 from Proline is darn good. It's better than the C-5 for sure!
