was just wondering what others are using. thanks
I've been running the same setup exc. for the csi bladders, I tried the 50 in the front but I thought was to stiff. I dropped back to 45 wt in the frt. I saw more bounce over small jumps rather than the bigger jumps. You make could run 50f if the temps were higher.

I recently switched over to the M2C 4 shoe clutch, and am very happy with it. I like that it has a lot of options as far as tuning it goes, and it comes with all the parts you need in the bag. (setscrews for the flywheel as well as the full range of springs)

I never had any issues with the stock clutch, I just wanted a clutch setup that allowed me to remove the flywheel from the engine with out pulling all the shoes and springs off of it.

i'm running 29f/30r ride height. have just installed csi blue bladders in the rear shocks. supposedly they have less pack than the black ones. going to try them first.

i'm happy with the way the car handles now. just got to stop the bouncing.

Not sure about the front knuckle as a advantage but there rear will give you one more camber position. And now you can buy the rear hubs in plastic with the third hole. Maybe 6 bucks verses $75.
