I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

I think gluing may have helped more years ago when CF manufacutring was pretty bad. CF laminate construction is much better with better resins, so I question if gluing does much more than cosmetic protection.
Mine cracked through the screw hole weak point like others I've seen.

No shocked.
Need to figure out some sort of lexan cover for the shock towers. Should help them scrub instead of dig in.

Rear of arm = More weight transfer to rear on acceleration/more forward traction/less on power steering
Front of arm = Less weight transfer to rear on acceleration/less forward traction/more on power steering

Since people are talking front/rear shocks, I actually looked closely at the side by side overhead comparison of the B6D and B6. I didn't realize how far back the rear mount shocks/B6D pushes the wing back!

Also, I wonder if it'd help to round some of those CF corners a little bit if/when everyone is sealing their towers?

Tech Adept
It wouldn't hurt to reference the impact to the front wheels as well. I always look at it as shocks on the front of the arm share the shock weight with the front wheels (add weight to the front wheels, reduce the shock weight on the rear wheel), while shocks to the rear of the arm have the rear wheel share the full burden of the shock, and remove weight from the front.
Rear of arm = More weight transfer to rear on acceleration/more forward traction/less on power steering
Front of arm = Less weight transfer to rear on acceleration/less forward traction/more on power steering
Rear of arm = More weight transfer to rear on acceleration/more forward traction/less on power steering

Few care what it IS (which is what you provided), most care what it DOES (which is what I was trying to explain).
Edit: What I'm getting at is while it is changing the weight distribution, it isn't weight between the wheelbases which is pretty straight forward. That is simple static weight distribution. In this case one of the configurations has weight being put BEHIND the axle.

Yes.
