Very keen on your thoughts when you start chucking it around with the track difference F to R. I have 5mm spacers on rears and nothing on fronts and it feels TERRIBLE! feels like it is drunk and on snowboards.Quote:

/but, we'll see, worst that can happen is i'll take them off. :clap:
Sounds like you need to upgrade all your bushings to poly bushings M8. How many K's on the car. Are you getting any sort of body role or a slight body twist or does the car not feel responsive when your making hard turns. Also depends on suspension setups, bushings, sway bars, strut bars, chassis braces/stiffeners, tyres-all these will effect the handling characteristcs of the car. I tracked mine on spacers/adapters with stretched tyres with no effects what so ever. With spacers/adapters your increasing the stance/width of the tyre track(making the car wider)I must say after upgrading the front arms bushings to the Ecs ones it is more responsive than ever-like a big slot car, but I have also upgraded every bushing in the R and it handles great. But I'm going to upgrade to the rear front control arm bushings to the 034 aluminum bushings instead, and Upgrade to 4 semi-slicks but not here I'll wait till I get home. Hope this helps.Quote:

I washed it this weekend. I can't remember the last time. I forgot how shiny it can look.
Well, got my wheels back today, got the KU36s on and had my .:R bolted back together!
Getting a wheel alignment tomorrow morning because when i did the control mount pushings i f**ked the Toe in on the passenger side! Causes a hideous wobble on the road ahha. Will get that seen to then i'm so keen to see how these bushings, tyres and swaybar go!
Also did the ecs rear wiper delete, looks so clean!
Car stands so much nicer now with spacers. <333333
Pics dude……………….

Pulled my grille and front bumper off last night to touch up one of my headlights as it went foggy on the inside.
Yeah, mines done the same! Will be cleaning it when my big thermofan comes and i have the front end off...Quote:

Mine looked very milky from outside, and had to be polished to come off! so wasnt just 'fog'
I like it! rear looks good spaced out also. got a sample of what you were hoping for?
'was kind of hoping for this....
