I am struggling to keep a ride height of 3.5mm because I do not have the adjustment I used to have with the 12r5. That being said, my tires are at 40.95mm as it sits, and I am at a 3mm ride height... reason I like 3.5 is because we have the CRC Black carpet, and our track is bumpy. The car turns on a dime, set up is perfect, but I still would like to keep using a set of tires that have plenty of life.
My AE I could run them to plastic and still have a 3.5mm ride height, my x12, already down to 3mm.
Has anyone else run I to this problem? If so, how'd you fix it?
Thanks,
Colin
Strange...I don't remember having an issue with that on my X12. I ran on asphalt so I had to change the tires out before they got to the rim but still did run right down to the rim a few times. You could probably sand down the arms like you did the arm mounts on your AE...but you'll need to sand down the inserts as well.
