shock towers
Fred,
can you expalin a little more on why to get the new towers. I too am converting over my '11 and I didn't get the towers on my conversion. I am running on carpet w/ medium bite on rubber tires, and I am already on the lowest hole on the rear. What would be the benefit of having that 1 extra lower hole. I run 17.5 blinky.
let me know, and thanks for your info on this forum, i have found it very useful.

Or you could carefully drill another hole, if you make a mistake buy a new tower, what you got to loose

On 99% of my setups I have found the best balance for shock positions on the towers to be 3 hole front and 1 hole rear in both mod and stock. In the front the more laid down the shock it will generate more initial steering and in the rear the more laid down the shock it will generate more on-power steering. Since I use push brake in both motor classes I typically want lots of on-power steering but on some high bite tracks (WC, Norcal) and even low bite tracks I use more initial steering as well.

Interestingly, last weekend my car using ride 25 tyres was really biting on corner entry whilst my shocks were in the middle hole at the front, I laid them down as far as I could and it smoothed it out no end, seemed to give me less initial steering

Guys I'm using Futaba A9551 low profile, when you make a full right turn the middle part of servo link (turnbuckle) touch the bottom part of top deck, anyone have the same issues? Any solution ?

mine runs real close, if it is interfering with the steering change the adjuster link to a 3mm threaded stud between the two ball cups, that should work
