Default X-6 rear turnbuckle length

When using the E-Speed camber mod., do you have to run a shorter turnbuckle than the 2" one supplied in the B4 FT kit?

Thanks!

Thanks guys.

Chris, if you could let me know the length of turnbuckle you use that would be great.

I asked because on my B4 the ball ends use virtually the entire thread at the rear already, so going any shorter would be difficult (I've been assuming the X-6 geometry is similar without the E-Speed camber mod.).

I Think I use the std one but I always run the outer or middle hole on hub therefore the link is only the same length as say short on hub and short on tower.

Before I used to run the inside hole on hub a lot but since using the E Speed hangers it's middle or outer hub holes all the time.

I was wondering what length turnbuckle I would need and also where to get them from as I found that with the standard turnbuckles I could not get the link short enough and then had to cut them which only left a few threads which after 4 rounds they finaly gave up in the final.

I am using the rayspeed 0 degree hubs and the furthest hole with the E Speed camber mod if this helps.
Many thanks in advance
