7, 5, 4 has been the best for me and my driving style. That is one of the biggest factors with the diff setups. Driving style has more to do with the setup then anything. Just because joe blow likes 775 or john doe says 555 has been the best, you need to try the different setup out for yourself to see what you like best. That is what I have had to do and its taken a couple months of trying different things before I finally got it right.

The Mugen Al piece uses the same bolts with nuts underneath. Just take the screws out the stock part and then remove the top graphite plate. Swap the part out and reinstall. The M2C part has threading in it, so no nuts are used underneath to hold it in place. I used bolts that were 2mm longer I believe with the M2C part, but I have to check to make sure.

Those pieces are to lift the different sized servos off the chassis, and also to make the linkages level from the center diff area and from the servo saver. So there is less binding when the servo's are working/chassis flexing.

The JR servos are larger than others and can be a pain in some cars. On the steering servo, I took a flat file to the sides only, so it wasn't so tight. Only a few strokes with the file though, so it slides in snug, not having to be forced in. On the small securing blocks, I used one with the lip in like the manual states, to take up the space and the other one flipped so the lip is down.
