so where are the dots meant to be on the sheet? I take it you mean the lower arm roll centre, not the upper link roll centre?
so he's used the inserts to widen the front track? adding the 1 insert in outer location ff and fr?
How does widening the front track help lock in the rear?
I was going to get the wide Hexes to widen the rear track.

Hudy setup book says high roll centre at rear =

More on power traction
Use to avoid traction rolling at corner entry
Use in low grip conditions

So - fingers crossed.

I also re filled the rear diff with 10k - surprisingly it was empty - no oil after just 3 meeting.
My front diff was almost empty as well, when I checked. American forums recon its being absorbed by the composite gears ;-) I'd say it was leaving through the outdrives.

Why have you got to 10k on rear? what's the thinking behind it?

cheers
