Also should I prepare the shock and upper deck edges as well?

Gary

Or you could put the chassis in a vice and run a bead of super glue around the edges :nod:

Evo IV carpet setup
 
Devon Racer,

Here is the setup that I've been using for stock racing on carpet w/ good results the last few weeks:

Front End
use diff instead of oneway
shocks-60 wt. fluid, Associated purple springs, pos. #3 on both arm and tower
camber link-stock position
wheelbase-stock position
susp. blocks-A/A
swaybar-blue
-2 deg. camber, 4 deg. caster, 0 deg. toe
may try -1.5 deg. camber if car oversteers on corner entry
ackerman-stock position

Rear End
shocks-50wt. fluid, Associated red springs, pos. #4 on tower and #3 on arm
camber link-stock position
wheelbase-stock position
susp. blocks-A/C
swaybar-none
-2 deg. camber

tires-Parma plaid on front, purple on rear trued to 2.35" (need to use 6mm hex hubs w/ 1mm spacer on front to clear these tires)
droop-4mm front and rear (less if smaller tires are used)
ride height-5mm
body-Parma Alfa Romeo

Hope this helps....:)
