My favorite to use is pledge spray in the can, it's pretty waxy and keeps the car looking new and dust dosnt stick as much. Get it anywhere

I have been running some front blue compound barcodes for a while and they show almost no wear. Should I go for green compound and maybe I will still get decent wear and more steering?

You could scuff the blues in more with sandpaper to see if you get what you are lookin for before you go pay for more tires and wheels ?

You see, 90% of the time I have enough steering but should I just use green compound in the future?

Hard to say without seeing the clay at the track. Can you describe clay conditions and temp? Does it dry out? Do they water a lot Etc..

Personally i believe that the best combo is the standard AE diff balls with ceramic thrust balls. However, the standard AE balls in the thrust will also work well.

As soon as i posted i knew you were going to say something about how im wrong and you had a better way to do it. It works for me, he asked for an opinion and i gave mine. No need to tell me why yours is better.

Because thats what i tried a while back and my diffs are still smooth. I have tried the ceramic diff balls before and they were good but i can build a diff that is smooth and lasts long with the standard stuff. I have nothing bad to say about the ceramic diff balls, just giving my opinion. I have never had a issue with the stock stuff in an AE diff, when i tried a tlr car a couple years ago....thats a different story.
