Have you ever tried Tamiya o-rings ?

Thanks.
There are two sets of shock towers that have the "half-hole" adjustments. Which one you choose just depends on what you are doing, and which upper bulkhead you have on you car.

If running the upper bulkheads with 4 camber link positions that come in every kit other than the Cyclone TC, then you want to use the 61090, and 61091. If you are running on foam tires, HB offers some lowered versions so you can slam your body down more, you'll want to use 61287 and 67705. These towers are 2mm lower.

If you are running a cyclone TC, or you are running the newest upper bulkheads that only have 2 camber link positions, then you want to run 61287 and 67705. The newer upper bulkheads are 2mm taller, so you need to use the lowered shock towers to get the correct geometry. I personally run this combo.
