we usually say that 1.75mm of shims should be added to the stack on the am23 for every 4 degrees of caster "added" to not have a major change in toe-in bump

After many years with Xray I decided to go for something more exotic and damanding.

Im getting the new A800x evo and i’m looking for a list of tuning and spare parts to get with the chassis. Also some special tools needed?

Will be driving on ets carpet this winter and later on low to medium bite asfalt.

Thangs!
