. If the track is quite bumpy and rutted / loose I'd run bypass so valves on bottom with everything stacked and thick oil to get some pack but it will still bypass and really lock in the car. These pistons are a learning curve non the less and you will have to play with the setup a couple times. But it'll pay off once you find the correct combo

That's what Matt from MIP told me on the MIP thread.

I changed to this setup and will race tomorrow. TA 45 front, 40 rear, feels good.

I had mine on top of the piston first, then went under, there is a large difference in power to the ground, under is way better, I would run it before changing it, the more I drive mine the better it feels, you need to go up oil as well tho, did you do that?

Default FT kit

Question....Is the FT kit worth buying? Does it come with instructions?

I've already have an aftermarket chassis brace, garodiscs and the MTK clutch basket.

Thanks in advance!

Still a good deal for you to get .

Along with the awesome Ae VTS slipper ?

The upgrade includes a improved chassis brace , the
new Ae steering rack & saddle pack mod....

Saddle packs and sways bars are at least $70 in upgrades. Plus the upgraded rear shock tower and ack bar.

Sounds like a YES..

Do i just replace the garodisc and clutch basket with the VTS slipper?

I've already got the sway bar kits, which saddles are recommended?

Thanks!

Yes, the Ae chassis brace mounts to the new tower for extra strength.

you can use a garro disc on the inside plate but not the outside. the vts uses smaller pads. but you can use it on the inside of the spur.
