A setup question.....

Before the question I have to say I do know that it can be solved if I had a tire truer (it's on the list) but before then.....

I've just finished building my first 1/12th (a Rev4) and at the moment I have out of the box tires (parma pse) and because of their size I've had to put shims under the front steering blocks and install different (from kit) axel carriers to lower the rear end.

The ride height I've ended up with is 5mm at the very rear of the pod, 4mm along side the tweak springs and 3.5mm beside the batteries. However I've got a front ride height of 4.5-5mm as well.

Unfortunately I don't have any more shims for the front so I'm wondering will this do until they wear down a bit (or I get a truer) or should I try and lower the front even more and if so how?

If it will do for now will it adversly effect the handling?

Also is the height in the other places ok as they are?

Thanks in advance.
