I am running an x6 squared chassis but the rest of the car is original x6, so all the wishbones and shock towers are the original ones. I have been told that with the Rear toe in block being flat to the chassis gives the 4 degree toe in... is this correct???
My car, as per the set up sheets and tips, should have amazing forward traction and low side traction - but frustratingly it is the oposite?
Any ideas?
Muchos gracious, Jon!
I should also point out that I have been mainly driving on astro turf so far this year with this current set up but I would have thought the theory would be simular for astro or grass!!!

Quick Point: the height of the toe-block affects antisquat not the toe-in. I think you know that but just typed it wrong. You are correct that, with the squared chassis; having the toe-bar flat on the chassis is 4* of antisquat.
As for set-up, I know I come from dirt and not grass/astro but I do have two comments. First, that inside 'A' hole in the rear hub is going to allow the rear to slide around quite a bit. I think most of the team guys over there are running in the outside 'C' hole, which is going to help the car drive much more "square" coming out of corners.
Second thing, if you're still looking for forward traction one of the biggest things you can do is move the rear arms and hubs forward. This makes a big difference w/ the X - 6, and I'd highly recommend trying the adjustment out to get a good feeling for it.
