I feel you are saying to control the roll use droop not harder springs.
Hey Marcos where you using 3.5 rotors in the 4.5 & 5800 if so how did they go. ie power and braking as there is a big difference in brakes with the 3.5.

its not necesarily controling the roll,its controling weight transfer and getting the balance of traction you are looking for.for more initial steering i add more uptravel in the rear,for more on power steering decrease front uptravel and so on.i change it for almost every track i run on with given conditions.i dont change much on the rest of the setup.you want the car to roll and roll evenly for a smoothe feel.if you want more side bite at either end of the car you can move the shock location on the tower further out for a more verticle position.you will get it working buddy,it just takes a bit of fine tuning.

The car is sick, I definatley think its my favorite touring car to date.

Well, considering that I sent him specs using cyclone blades, then I believe it to be apropo that cyclone blades be the blades that will fit.

I'm pretty sure that the pin size is the same, just that the Pro 4 drive shafts are a few mm longer than the Cyclone ones.

Default To those interested in aluminum outdrives for the Pro4

Send me an IM and I will reply with my contacts email address. Ensure that you mention me so he knows where the email came from. And no, I am not getting a kickback. I am paying $31 dollars a set just like everyone else.
