I have posted some of the below in the ECO version of this thread. I wanted to share with you guys.
The bind in the arms is something I think new builders should be aware of. My front and rear arms were tight, and I could easily see a new builder not knowing that they are supposed to be silky smooth. I reamed and then polished the hinge pins for extra smoothness. I say this because this was my first kit built buggy and I had never experienced a kit that the arms were tight. I had handling and setup issues (could not get ride height set consistently) my first race weekend. I just didn't know any better. Now that I have fixed the binding issues, the buggy handles completely different (much better) and is a such an easy car to maintain for my racing.

-Reamed the arms so that the pins "fall through" the arms. This gives clearance needed for dirt and debris.
-Polished the pins with polish compound, a drill, and a rag. This was very effective.
-Keep an eye on the pills, I have had flashing keep them from sitting in the holder all the way. This is similar to having the little clip spacers set too tight.
-Keep an eye on the clip spacers, I have had them too tight.
-Make sure the pillow balls are not adjusted too tight
-The steering links can become damaged and get tight
These are some things I have used to get a silky smooth suspension moment.
