Ok, so if I want CNC flat pistons I have to buy AVID.

How much camber are you running, maybe increasing that perhaps?
Different tires maybe? I personally run box stock shock setup except a lil thicker in the oil.

Just picked up a new b44.2 and was thinking about getting b4, so my question is is it safe to go ahead and buy a b4.2 or is there something in the works for a newer car?

is it that you dont have that much side bite into or out of the corners, or both?

if its both, you may be due for new rear tires.

if its only exiting corners you may be inclined to add 1mm to your rear u-brace, this helps the car square up alittle better under power, a green rear spring will help this too.

if its into the corner you may like to try a green spring in the front as well as adding 1mm to the front tower.

alot of good info there too.

An ae driver mentioned to me that using one limiter allows for more quick adjustment by unscrewing or screwing the shock eyelet to act as if you are adding or subtracting internal limiters.

If you want to adjust droop via the eyelet, you would start off with more limiters, not less.

im pretty sure most run there eyelets screwed all the way on to start, i switched to 2 limiters upfront and uncrewed the eyelet one turn because i needed steering

Just got back from the track and decided to try out my new video camera. Maifield came by again, so I thought I would share q2. I footage looks a little better, but I think I might return the camera. Anyway, enjoy.

So i stripped out some screws using cheap worn out tools. I got new tools and figure I might upgrade the screws. What do I get? Stanless, titanium, what? Thank you
