Okay 3 questions .

what is the purpose of running only two pod screws on a t-bar car compared to running all three.

Reason for the questions on t-bar application cars. Is that I've dropped my crc. and running a t-bar car again.
You can use a sharp 1/8" drill bit or order a 1/8" (.125) reamer from a tool supply company online like McMaster Carr.

Like Dark said you rear will be softer. This willmake your car better over bumps, increase rear traction and make the car turn in less agressively.

On asphalt you run the .063" T bad with 2 screws 99.9% of the time.

On carpet you can run anything from the .063" T bad with 2 screws to an .075" with all 3 screws. Its all about the feel you want to get out of the car, how bumpy the track is and and how much traction yout track has. Don't assume that because its carpet you need to run .075" with all 3 screws.
