I see that some of you noticed a typo in my post in regards to my setup and good catch. I'm not running toe out on the rear, I have no idea what I was typing, I guess I confused myself. I'm running with 2 degrees of toe IN.

Integra, what wing mount is it that you're running on your 8ight?

Stock...modified to use nuts instead of body clips...imo body clips is a Poor way to hold on a wing.

Ran the race roller half a gallon and my clutch is already toast. Opemed the clutchs and saw two worn out aluminum shoes while the other 2 are in pretty good shape. That simply means it was engaging on two shoes instead of 4. The clutch assemble was already assembled when I hooked up everything.

Can anybody tell me why this happened? Whats the best clutch set up for the the 8t?
Thanks in advance

It happened because of different spring rates. You can run 2 aluminum and 2 composite shoes for a decent setup.

^Dang, if you're that lazy to figure it out like some of us have you're probably too lazy to install them.

Slayer, instead of that upper plate you should have gotten new shock towers, a far better upgrade IMO. Also, I think the rear shaft covers are a silly idea because all the extra drag you have now from the air resistance that wasn't there before. Kind of like running without a body.
