your tires have to be perfect too. no air gap at all or theyll flip..two race nights max and theyre done. with the B4 and C4 i preferred JC greens cuz they were less edgy

Felix, Tim is 100% right. 18mm is a must for ride height. Also, I was runng 30wt all around and green springs all around. You need down travel limiters in the shocks also. At least. 3 each front and rear.
Go to the IRH site and look at the setup sheet that's there. Any questions just let me know.
I just put a 13.5 in my 4.2. Going to play with it a bit ;-)

Yeah I slamed it as far down as it can go no preload on the springs running white front a rear will get greens and try that and Im running panthers front and rear traction is great but its edgy like a mid life crisis

I've run the panthers and m4 ions as slicks. M4 is more grip but less forgiving. Panthers work well IF you scuff them nicely AND round the inner and outer edges. Also check mounting positions on the shocks and that you are runn the 5mm spring cups. If you are there on a Friday I will take a look.
