The car seems to generate so much front end I can't see when you'd ever need to go back to std front arms outdoors on astro ?
Only used mine once at RHR national. Felt great over the bumps but reacts faster than my brain works which made it pretty hard to drive in my opinion. I only managed one cleanish run which was a respectable 34th whereas Id normally manage at least three clean runs.
Having driven it hard I can see how the elite amongst us can be so fast with it though. Looking forward to trying the arms and extra weight.

I haven't yet but I plan to. Weren't we in the same heat? I also had similar issues as it was my first meeting with the car on astro and was just trying to get used of it. Had at least 1 grip roll per heat which really messed me up to be honest, as it does at national level.
The most frustrating thing about my grip rolls on both days of the weekend is I never ended up back on my wheels, everytime I needed a marshall. One of my grip rolls in 2wd cost me dearly as I'd have been around 25th in round. It's a new car and most of us won't have had near the track the time that top guys will have had with the car. We just need to persevere and ride the learning curve.
