What course thread, self tapping, socket head bleaders are you talking about? The "they NEVER strip out" has me very interested

5 shims on the inner ballstud with a long camber link? WTF?

What outer ballstud position is on this setup?

The more ThunderbirdJunkie reads about the +8 the less he likes it.

OK, thanks. ThunderbirdJunkie was really worried that the team guys were making a super long camber link up front to compensate for no front traction.

He may try the +8 for S&Gs...we'll see.

Where are you guys getting yours?

I tried all the +8mm setups. I ended up just taking pieces of different ones and trying some of my own tricks to find the balance I want which is good initial turn-in and then a on power push. Its safe and easier to drive for 8 min instead of being so edgy, although admittedly, fast lap a bit off but top 10 and top 20 average lap is faster which is really more important.

The stock? That does not show because it is inside the shock cap?

Naw, no need for that, as all of the screw with the exception of the head goes into the bleeder cap.
