Yup, it should drop right on.

And yes, our car is pretty narrow. Thats why it develops so much overall traction, and makes the car very reactive. If you are having traction roll issues and want to smooth out the car, widening it by adding shims to the wheel hexs, or just using a wider hex will make the car more stable. It will have slightly less overall traction though.

You will still have to drill holes for the suspension block modification. There are some weird holes in the rear of the car that LOOK like they are for that mod, but they are not. I'm not really sure what those are there for.

Front
pink springs
40wt AE oil
3 position on the shock tower
2 hole piston
outside hole on front pro4 arm
1.4 front sway bar
2.5 front block
droop 3mm on blocks
1.5 mm under all front suspension blocksresponce
4mm ackerm
2mm spacer under front camber tie rod
2 of camber
5.5mm ride height

Rear
blue springs
40wt AE oil
#2 pistons
4 position on the shock tower
middle hole on old pro 4 arm
1.2 rear sway bar
3.0 rear block
droop 4mm
1.5 mm shims under all suspension blocks.
rear hub spacers 2.0/front, 0.75/rear
1.5mm spacer under rear camber tie rod
arms all the way back 2.0mm in front of arm, 0.75 behind of arm.
2 degrees of camber
6mm ride height

This is my setup at the moment on sores 36R. 2nd place in the mains 3rd fastest in qualifying. Car felt really good. Car kinda feels soft for me in the rear with the blue springs, but I can get used to that.

My question now would be the 3 hole pistons. What kind of handling chages will I feel? And maybe upping the front oil rate to say 45w and leaving the rear at 40W

The track is a a little bit bumpy, hence the higher ride height. Can anyone tell me also if my droop seems correct? I am still learning about this setting.
