Try moving the shocks inside front and rear for more rotation. Drill the 4th inside hole on the rear tower if you are running the truck.[/QUOTE]

can someone shoot a pic of this mod so I know where to drill and not mess up a tower

thx

Thanks for the help. I'll see you at the ECT race in December.

Inboard toe produces more friction at the outdrive and drive pin. This creates a feeling of more traction and the car will drive quite a bit stiffer. This will allow the car to rotate a little more and have more forward bite at the cost of stability. Also, if you increase inboard toe, gradually move your hubs back as the car gets shorter with the higher angle.

For more rotation I would try these things: shorter wheelbase, higher front ballstud, more antisquat, cvds instead of cvas.
And don't forget to play with ride height, a little change may result in a more drastic difference than expected.

Draw a straight line of the existing holes and add a new one in line with the others. Use the same spacing of the other holes as well.

If you have, or can borrow someones spare tower then bolt it up to yours and drill out the new inside(4th) hole. You could also just make an indent, remove the overlaying tower and drill out the new hole.

once you make the 4th hole make sure to dremel down the tower so it wont rub the shock cap. This is what I found...

Yes, and I also notched the bottom edge of the shock tower so the cap did not hit and the shock moved more freely. Once it's all mounted up you will see what needs to be trimmed.

Gotta stupid question for you guys. which Do you prefer? the body clips for the body on the B4 or do you use velcro on each side of the body.

Cool I like the clean look. also for the rear body mount do you cut the body short or drill the hole in the body and dont use the body clip? Thanks

some people grind down the nub for a clean look and so they dont have to put a hole in the body for it. i left mine alone for right now but might do that with the next body

You can also run the longer aluminum upper shock mount, the one thats normally used in the front. This makes it so you don't have to grind the tower and compromise the integrity of it.
