Glad to see everyone else noticed the same thing and it will loosen up during break in. I've paid close attention to detail on my build and so far all the tips on here have been spot on and very helpful.

Tricks I've done:

1. Sanded diff rings
2. 2mm distance from diff cup to spring cover
3. Gorilla tape over chassis at saddle pack location to protect carbon fiber
4. All edges on every CF part sanded & rounded, black sharpie applied and CA sealed
5. Little bit of yamabond in some suspect areas of where screws may back out of the plastic parts they are in (e.g. Screws for A-Arm cotter pins)

So.... Thanks to everyone for sharing your tech tips and insight! Shocks are being started tonight!
