Any advantages of using the RS springs over the std Yok springs with the SS shocks.
I know the RS are longer.

Thanx Matt, for right now I went back to the Yoke springs, but I switched to the AE shock ends w/ the balls too 'cause my Yoke shock ends were shot. Just curious though, with the RS spring cups, is it a nice fit with the std. Yoke shock ends? The other problem that I'm running into is that since both frt./rear shock towers are the same, some of my bodies (my alpha 156 especially) don't fit correctly; maybe that's why RS came out with the new geometry ones huh? However, Matt do you have any set-up tips for a smediumish-technical carpet track? In stock, nearly everyone is strictly running Take-offs 27's.
THANX

front- RS yellow springs, RS #2 pistons with 40wt oil, gold sway bar, arms spaced all the way back, with a oneway.
rear- RS white springs, RS #2 pistons with 35wt oil, silver sway bar, arms in middle for more off power steering, arms in rear for more on power steering.
I don't remember where I had the shocks mounted but it wasn't anything wacky, probably just in the middle on the towers, outside on the rear arms and second from outside on the front arms.

Thanx Matt but I know for sure I'm not going to be running a 1-way right now (since I've only been in less than 10 races), just the diff up front. Does this change anything?
Thanx again...

You won't have as much steering but the car will be easier to drive. Once you get used to it give the oneway a try, it's alot faster.

Hey Matt, just for clarification, when you say move the arms... are you saying to change the wheelbase? 
Sorry...

Anyone has tried the SP 4deg. C-Hub & kunckle(curve type if you know what I meant) on the SD???

AGOWER.
Titanium Racing is a UK firm so you shouldn't have any problem getting their CVDs. Get them through CML. They are TIR's distributors in the UK.
Yes, these are the Mk 2 versions. They are much better than the Mk 1 in every respect. I recommend these but not the older type.
And you don't have to make any modifications. They fit straight on.
For USA users I believe Schumacher USA handle Titanium Racing products in the USA.
UNDERBODY.
I modified a Fastrax TC3 underbody for my CGM and it works OK. Very little modification needed. Again Fastrax are available in UK from CML.

yep, for me the car just seems to "work better" with both the front and rear arms spaced all the way back.
