Default Rear Pivot Block XXXCR

Can any of you knowledgable people tell me what difference swapping the rear pivot block to 0 degree will make?

Cheers

Lloyd

It gives the car less anti squat which means the car will have more drive on wet/ slippy tracks will make te car more stable aswell as allow the car to ride the bumps better.

Lloyd, do you mean the rear toe-in block? If so then reducing rear toe-in will make your rear end more loose () and consequently give you less rear-end grip/more turn in. Good where you need the back end to break away more. I'm running 0 deg toe-in at West Bridgford to give me some much needed turn-in for the tight corners. Normally I run 2 deg when I race outside, where the corners aren't as tight.
