I have never seen a large diameter shim like that used and wondered if I should remove it. I am more concerned about my B5's front bearing. What do you think? out or in?

Thanks
DO NOT run a shim that large behind the collet! I'm very surprised Mugen would suggest that! It will tear the front bearing seal to shreds. You need a shim that is no larger than the inner bearing race.
