  • A 0.5mm shim is under the front side link ball stud, this is supposed to add some rear steer to the car and make it rotate harder
  • The damper tubes have a 2mm shim under the outside, this makes them fractionally softer I believe, but happy to be corrected there.
Actually, front tire diamter is 39.2mm the 38.2mm is the glue on it.
