While greens or aquas worked well for stock last year, 19t doesn't seem to hook up with them this season. The best traction we've found is Wraps with Paragon or Niftech. When I ran at SoCal (once) greens were the ticket for 1/10th pan, but you should try the 2 stage for 1/12th. If you could get some bite you wouldn't need those .024s, but I know the feeling!
Thanks for the help. Yeah random 360's don't get you points for style I guess I will try some .024's. Who makes the best front end ride height shims?? I'm new to the 12th stuff. Thanks!
