I have a 69 and 72 ae spur on their way. My normal prostock ratio is 34/69 so I will see if that fits.

I'd recommend getting the JConcepts spurs instead, they are precisely machined and run much smoother than the AE ones. #2101 for the 72T, #2150 for the 69T version.

I'm noticed amain has Gullwing arms and tower as option parts. What would changing to those do for handling?

When I ran the b5m this is what we noticed...

Gullwings = aggressive initial
Flat = smoother overall

You can go into the B5m thread and still information they have already found about the differences in the arms.

Will the B5m Schelle slipper system work? Also, what is the tuning difference for the rear shocks on the front or rear of arm? I've never seen this before so I'm confused what I should do. Finally, what are the kit pistons sizes? All I saw was 1,2 or 3. I have 3x1.4's and all the stock B5m pistons, can I use them?

Super excited to start mine, just not sure where to start setup wise for indoor clay.
