Way ahead of ya there!
Already modded the slipper assembly to fit B4 spurs, i'm using AE diff screws and nuts, B4 shocks, the motor mount is roughened up and tapped deeper to accept a longer screw, and I came up with the droop mod a few years ago! Well, i wasn't the first, but i hadn't seen it before I did the mod.
I did find that AE Nitro TC3 diffs fit pretty well with just a little dremeling on the diff cases. I haven't gone to ceramic balls/plates yet but it's definitely needed. I'm not running the AE diffs, I put them in my friends car.
I also drilled new holes in the steering knuckles to get the full range of movement. You can see the dimples already in the knuckles for the holes! The only thing missing now is to get a suspension arm that doesn't move the CVD so far forward, it binds at full lock (Which is as much angle as a 2wd btw, tons). The shorter wheelbase could help too. Do you know if the V2 arms fit? Im pretty sure the knuckles are the same.
Do you know what diff plates fit? And are the balls 3/32" or 3mm? 2.5mm? I don't have a set of calipers yet... I've never driven a car with a front one-way. I heard they increase steering, but you also only get rear wheel braking. I think the new set of steering knuckle holes and a shorter wheelbase with the new arms will make the car not need a one way, but i wouldn't know.
My bearings (that came with the car, they're almost 4 years old now) seem to have a lot of play in them. Has anybody else noticed this? They're very noisy.
I'm running AE #2 pistons back, silver springs, 35w oil, outer hole on arms and tower. AE #2 pistons front, green springs, 40w oil, middle hole tower and arm, and a half inch down travel limiter made from fuel tubing. This gets the arms to droop properly and the springs don't need too many spacers.
I still want a new chassis!
I know, it's never good enough...
