Has anyone tried suburb front tires on indoor clay with good results? I ran scrubs and Panther bobcat fronts but I still wanted a little more steering.

I set it up with 1 washer (2 degrees). I might add another washer (3 degrees) and give it a shot. The track was pretty tricky yesterday, we started off with slicks and ended up with suburbs rear and bobcat fronts. I'll see what next weekend brings, I don't want to change to many things all at once.

C towers are gonna be hard to use on the 44. You'll have to add 2mm to the inside ball stud to keep it correct.

I run 1 extra spacer in the rear shock because I had the same problem. It only affects the handling when you are very hard on the brakes on corner entry, just a touch less steering, rear end more stable.

Page 18 of the manual. If you used the manual setup you should have 1 spacer in there. Some of the setups on AE's site show 0. I ran 0 at first but ran into the same problem you did so I went to 1 limiter.
