My rear big bores will be in on wednesday but I want the front to be completed by then.

Also, the track I go to everyone runs slicks, which I made out of my hot bodies pink tires with stock foam. A guy there said the tires felt soft and that I should've used closed cell. Would traction be that much better with the firmer closed cell foams?

Is a frogs ass water tight? It will be a night and day difference.

Doesn't seem to be hurting the AE cars if you ask me.

Which hexes did you buy...that is correct, with hexes all you use is the pin and the hex. The washer comes off.

Im currently running the shave brace and C hub. Our new track is pretty loose I want to try the "A" hub, Do I have to replace the shave brace or can I just add a spacer to get the same geometry?

Thanks,
Rocky

naa, it's a nice package. My comments are more geared towards the fact that the BB springs are good on the V2 shocks, not that the AE BB are bad. Like I said, I will be getting the BB..... Just not rushing as I have other things to buy first.

May not be helping them as much a possible either.

Pack is the initial force its take to move the shock piston as it moves inside the shock body..

More pack is good for landing's on big jumps & bumps .

Less pack is good for more traction .

More pack is achieved by using a smaller piston hole

Less pack with larger piston holes
