Thanks. Everybody seems to go with 0 hole roll dampers for sure. I'll try it next time.



Yo! I know it's not alignment in my case. Next time, I'll remove H in the rear to try more camber gain and higher roll center. Since the default RRS(parallel to chassis) is set to maximum already there's nothing more to gain but certainly it's something worthwhile to play with a bit more.
Can you tell me why parallel lower and upper arms is a good thing?



Will try the harder roll damping for sure. Not sure about new parts yet. So much more to test w/o those new parts yet



I didn't measure it using a tool so I could be wrong. I'll take a look again tonight but it seemed certainly very low to me. Especially when the arms are almost parallel, it's next to impossible to determine the crossing point unless somebody holds one freaky long ruler while the other holds the other.
Removing H is inevitable if I want to change the roll center but yeah your idea is not bad putting an improvised pole instead. Or I could grind down the H a little to create some room.
You gotta get the new parts on the car buddy. It's the first piece of the puzzle and then the way harder roll dampers/springs. It just transforms the car.
