+ The T4 specs say that the roll center clamps are 2mm lower. Does that mean you need to run an additional 2mm shim on the clamps to get the same roll center position as on the T3 12?
I'm not too sure about the shock positions but i think they changed. Either way there is one postion less since the T4 only has 4 shock positions.

The front bodyposts are in the same position but the rear ones are closer together than before and probably more rearwards positioned as they are now bolted to the shock tower from behind.

I think that you are right with your last point. But you have to consider that the new chassisplate is thinner so there is a minimal change of RC by that. And setting your RC you might want to consider the lower CG of the T4 compared to the T3.
