I actually prefer tubes. I've found tubes to be infinitely more consistent than discs, and tubes offer you the ability to adjust fore and aft, and lateral dampening independently, something the 360 degree nature of the discs will not allow. anytime you want to increase lateral dampening on a disc car, you also end up increasing the fore and aft dampening. This is unavoidable on a disc car. The tubes being mounted on ball links go through far less travel when compared to the discs and therefore have a negligible effect on fore and aft dampening allowing your tuning to be more precise.
For and aft dampening is controlled by the of the strength t-bar and the actual shock
this is just my opinion and I have had better results with the disks, the pod just feel a lot looser and more free on all angels, but you have probably set up your tubes to be just as good.............
