Ok so I ordered BB's and the new BB shock tower for my RB5, So am I understanding correctly That the new tower makes no difference in performance just that it it molded so the BB's won't rub.

the BB tower is taller and I am currently not running it. I just dremel the standard tower. if you run the bigbore tower you will need to run a longer shock end and even then it makes the car different.

Where do you get the carbon fiber from ? I was trying to find some I want to make some battery straps for my ZX5 . Or do you make those too ?
