You know, an X - 6 isn't much wider than a B4...

Slop is ... ... not too bad. There is some; slightly more than on a freshly built B4 suspension. But it feels as if it's spread out over 3 dimensions, rather than being mainly in the dimension where it affects camber but not toe-in. But then again, I didn't use new ball studs in 2 places. It's still fine after a few rough test sessions, which I think is also due to the fact that the forces are more evenly spread over all the different links.

Yeah, only 2/10 are heim-type joints. More would be better.

Chassis width is no problem, but having the shocks behind the axles is.... ... a bit.
