If I remember correctly it will do strange things to your steering geometry.

What are you trying to achieve by shortening the wheelbase by that much? Maybe another adjustment would help more.

On the other hand just try running it like that and see how it goes

If you are new to setting up B4's this might be usefull:

Cheers bud - appreciated. To be honest, i was just trying to get as much steering as is possible. Although my car felt reasonable last year, im just not used to such an amount of understeer. Watching other peoples cars it was apparent that most of them were under-steering, its just about managing it.
I have also just fitted the Trishbits brass blocks that add weight to the front end. Maybe i should just put the spacer back behind the Castor block as it was and try it ?

If it screws up the steering geo then id rather alter it now than do it in a rush at Worksop.

Thx again
