But again, those are just my experiences, it a modification that I personally recommend everyone questioning what it will do to just try it and see what they think.
I first put on the 8mm mod last summer when I was just testing at tracks in Brazil. They had a high speed corner at the end of the first straight that was a really tough spot for me with the stock set-up. The car would seem to just lift off and traction role really easy. I installed the 8mm mod with only 5mm under the inner camber link and I could stay on power through the turn. It was night and day. I can see how the increase in camber gain helped keep the outside tire virtical with maximizing the contact patch.
After dialing in my RC8.2 I have learned a lot about the rear end and getting it planted. On that vehicle the Avid -1mm rear pils played an important role. I would like the tuning option of the M2C block so I can try different rear toe. I may find the same results and not need it. It comes with a bunch of pils. What are they? Does it provide the stock setting as well as optional settings?
