Well, just finished my very first race with the 415 on 19T rubber. Car was pretty easy to drive, end up qualifying 2nd and finished 2nd, about .2-.3 second off my XRAY FK time. I can definitely use more steering, and if I remember right, there was a post about dropping the ackerman all the way down with all the spacers up top to get more steering? And have to shim the ball studs up??? Does anyone remember how much?
There was a pretty noticeable problem though, something chatters quite a bit in the corners, especially on power steering, and it is loud too. I had a hard time figuring exactly what that is? Anyone knows?

Well, the chatter, I think would be coming from the frt universals. Check them thorougly. I had nothing but problems with them. I switch to alternate MIP CVD style drive shafts. No more noise.
The rack gets lowered, I beleive it is 4mm , so the you have to raise the ball on the rack 4mm to bring it up to the same plane as it was.
Carpet/ foam racing is progressing.... I have been doing ALOT of testing.
