Do I need to run spacers to get correct steering angles or not? It looks ok on my set up station, but ackerman may be affected by this?.
It depends on what ball studs you will be using as some are "spaced up" already. I used the HPI ball studs & 3mm shims.

The ball studs in the kit which attach to the rear shock tower give the same height when used in the new uprights when using the outside hole of the old uprights. Does that make sense lol

I use a Kimbrough one myself and it works a treat.

Hope it feels as good on the asphalt whan I get a chance to run it.
The car has proven to be extremely capable on Ashphalt, im sure you wont be dissapointed.
