Its funny but the A Main had 1 yok, 1 415 and the rest were T2's and RDX's
Does anyone know where I can get another set of SDW arms. Adding them helped in the steering department!
Thanks

Guys i want to know how you can change the roll center , front and rear!!!
i guess from the camber links right?? moving the front camber links at the shoulder of c hub!! And what about rear??
also if you change the position of the spacer under/over steering hub , what will you change??
and what if you mount the c hub at the bottom/top hole on the arm!!
thanks for helping me so much guys i really appreciate it!!
and i am sorry if i am asking stupid things some times!!
cheers

You can easily control the amount of bite the car has with different thicknesses. However on really flowing tracks I would go without them as they stop the car rolling smoothly round the bends. I also never use them indoors

Roll bars will remove some lateral roll (which may result in increased corner speed) whilst maintaining forward traction, which is a perfect setup tool for medium traction tracks. Thats not to say however, that they will always yield faster lap times.

Placing shims under the inner camber link will lower the roll center, which will result in more chassis roll.
Moving the outer camber links back will slightly move the pivot point of the roll back behind the front axle, which will result in a more aggresive feeling front end. Although from my experience will also make the car somewhat less predictable and nervous.
The roll center of the car can also be adjusted by placing shims under the front and rear arm mounts, this will raise the roll center. Placing shims under the arm mounts will have a larger effect on roll center than the same amount of shims under the inner camber link would have.

If you just want to convert the center one way to direct , then you only need this part !!! But you will have to change the front one way also or else you will still have the one way "problem"

This would be in addition to the fact that you have moved the outer camber link back (which I previously addressed) and would in itself impact the handling of the car.
Hope I explained so you can understand. It does acctually get a little more complicated than that, but that is basicly how it is. Best bet is to try it and feel for yourself.
Also, not sure what the spacer actually does, I can't think of how moving the spindle up or down 1mm will have a great effect on anything. I have always just left it as standard. Somebody care to offer an opinion on this, I would like to know myself.
