Also, I see discount has the arm pivot balls in stock, anyone tried to replace one yet?
We've just begun testing with them in the last week or so with mixed opinions. In general, we agree that they make the overall 'feel' of the car subtlety softer so depending on how you like the car to transition, it can be a favorable difference. ( part U4130 ) The pivot ball sockets ( part U4244 ) are CA'd in place and can be knocked out ( carefully! ) or with a bit of acetone can soften the glue just enough to knock out ( don't soak them too long, can begin to break down the carbon fiber
)

Quietman is correct. There will be a front brace to compliment the rear brace that will further stiffen the chassis and help create a better balanced feel from front to rear. Because our current steering rod has no real ackerman adjustment, there will also be ( 2 ) available steering plate options of different lengths. We've not yet seen them in person however, the shorter one should offer more ackerman ( less aggressive ) with the longer ones offering less ackerman ( more aggressive ). The shock towers thickness has been increased to 4.3mm to help minimize deflection in the shock angle as well firm up to top of the bulkheads, helping to make the chassis flex a bit less and drive more accurately..
Maybe Ed will chime in and offer more info if we overlooked something.. hope it helps! ...
