FRONT DAMPER
When you build up the Front Damper in Step 6 you can cut the Tamiya screws (2 x 24mm) and screw into SMS part M13. Cut the screws so that after they are screwed in the screw protrudes from the assembled damper the same distance as shown in the instructions for the Tamiya assembly. Then use this to bolt the damper to the chassis using the Tamiya nut.
REAR SUSPENSION ARM
I had some trouble with the rear suspension arm getting everything to line up properly. It is tough to test fit because there are a number of different parts - you have to glue some things to try it! The position of the SMS arm is crucial. Mine had slightly different angles in the end than the original Tamiya part.
BRAKE ROTORS
I used some styrene to enlarge the gap in the brake calipers to accomodate the SMS brake rotors (same thing for the brake cooling duct)
