(I did add two slots last friday to my R1!!! Hope it workes!)

I also see lots of people running yokomo springs: mainly pink and yellow. For me, I choose Atlas and Speedmind (HK)!! Fit very well!

By the way the "Jet" products that i received has some problems so no pics yet.
1)C-Hub doesnt fit there's about 2.7mm needs to be shim
anyone with "Square" c hub care to comment as the seem to be a copy of "Square" 2)servo saver arms had 2 of the right arm no left arm
Only thing that are really nice fit are the rear upright.Already called and email them and waiting for their answer

JDM - i called them up yesterday regarding my problem and even send pics via email to them ....were told they would get back to me today...by 7pm no return mail again so i called overseas again ......so they told me they would be sending a new set of servo saver arms and spacers that they forgot to include with the c-hub.....optional c-hub need spacers....hopefully they will send it EMS as that's what i paid for...???
not sure if this is a case of wrong measurement or what but if stock doesnt need any shim why would an optional ones need...they could have just mold it like the stock ones so no shims needed.....i also need to send back the arms to them(extra cost on me but they told me to send the slowest and cheapest method so i suppose it wont be much)....i suppose this is what when guys say "u get what u pay for" ... i should have bought the Square ones instead.....i guess next time i will let others to buy new products first before trying them out but overall they are still okay to deal with as they did admit their mistake in packaging.....for the rear upright they are SWEET!!!

thats one big gap????!!!!! I would get the Square ones next time..... but then again the Jet price can't be beat ..For me it comes down to quality I guess
.....Also that space might be a good thing because if you ever get the Speedway PAL short arm conversion the extra space that the Jet hub provides would be good because with the kit you need to file a tad bit off the front of the A-arm were the knuckle hits at the bottom of the shock stroke...about 2mm but thats it no big deal -Dave
