The XB9 I just built has way more droop and suspension travel. Feels plusher and more confident as well. After looking at the parts it might be smarter if I just bought an entire XB9 to upgrade my 808E and keep everything left as spares for my current xb9? 353115 R arm 352115 F arm 353511-k wing 352094 F tower 353094 R tower 358104 F shocks (complete) 358204 R shocks 353351-v2 R carriers Can anyone confirm that the arms and rear carriers have better/different geometry. I know the new ones are more adjustable, but can we get by on the old parts? How close are the stock base Xb9 arm and carrier settings to the stock arms and carriers on the 808? My arms and carriers are new, I'd rather not replace them if It isn't needed. |

So far I've added the Xb9 shocks, CSI Blue pistons 50/40wt, and XB9 rear shock tower. The cars better, but I want more rear travel still. I'm going to try the rear hinge pin holder set next. If I reduce my antisquat by raising the rear of the arm, I hope to pick up a little extra droop. The chassis ears hit the arms limiting thier travel, I still seem to have some shock travel left. |

But be sure that too much rear droop makes the car's rear loose whilst braking, off power and off power into corners, especially when using soft springs. |
