I have a CK and heres most of my setup.

.02 ae springs
5 deg block with all the shims forward
.5 deg camber
white side springs
30wt/copper or silver spring and a little 5,000 on the tubes.
Black front and grey rear tires (jaco)

Try the white side springs. It helps to rotate the car in the tight corners. Also a lighter lube in the tubes helps it transistion faster.

I am using the 10 degree reactive caster block and camber at -1.5 degree caster at 4 degrees (1 forward 2 rear)

I just got a set of .45mm front springs at the LHS

I see that you are running 0 degrees caster I thought that the more caster (to a point) the more steering????

anyways I will try that thanks


Oh and what is the deal with black front tires. I thought that the darker the colour the harder the tire but when I talked to the LHS guys they said that black is an exception and it is really soft?

Anyone have a good tutorial on the jaco tire compounds and the effects on handling?

thanks again
