You will need to take off the inside edge to allow the shock to compress, but you have to do this on the rayspeed hubs anyway. I think other than that they should just slot straight on.

Yeah on my alloy hubs when using hole "A" the hub needs to be filed otherwise it jus pops the turnbuckle off the ball stud.

Nothing at all but sometimes people like to be able to alter the height of the stud, those with the rayspeed hubs without having them machined down are actually altering nothing at all from the std ball stud position.

Yes.

CR hubs are longer than B4 ones so I think you lose the ability to change wheelbase. Tom will know as he runs CR ones.

I runs std ones, with the E speed hangers and the outer hub holes, the back is so locked in I rarely change much at the back and alter the front for balance if you see what I mean.

Gotta be careful when talking about putting studs in "A" holes.
Im sorry I'm such a juvenile.

Not entirely. Just 1 washer instead of the usual 2.

Just about to order some Racers Edge rear hubs.

They do 1 Degree or 1/2 Degree

What do people tend to run on an X6 ???

Many Thanks

They also do 0 deg I think, which is what you want really.

The answer to that is 0deg, but I'm not sure how available those are.

I did hear Darren (DMS) mention he might have some Yokomo rear hubs which are almost identical to the Racers Edge/Rayspeed version, but they come in 0deg.

Hope that helps
