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.

More steering
i installed the +1 plates and will need to install the gullwings which i have purchased. I have made some changes to the car so I will make additional changes to see how it works out but just driving it around the house it seems like it inherently has a wider turning radius... kinda strange.. but i am a strange guy so...

Had mine on the track for the second time, and really digging the car. Back end is a touch squirrel coming out of the corners on-throttle. I have the kit setup + laydown (shocks still on rear, though). Thinking of the following changes, in order:
- + 0.5 degrees antiquat
- Rear hubs forward
- Front lower shock mounts to B (middle) position
- 32.5wt front shocks
- Rear upper shock mounts to 1
- + 0.5 degrees antiquat
- Rear hubs forward
- Front lower shock mounts to B (middle) position
- 32.5wt front shocks
- Rear upper shock mounts to 1
Where are your shocks mounted front or rear of the tower ? I had to move then to the front of the rear tower. I tried moving the top rear shock setting in from center but it did not help. Also I added a 25g c mount and had to widen the rear of the car and went up +5 and out +5 on the c block. D block I went out +5 from stock and I may now move the rear mounts down a half . I found on my track the car was very unstable out of the corner with the box stock set up.
Another thought is to check the rear diff and make sure it didn't loosen up as it wore in

Jason , I went to laydown on the B6d and had to make a bunch of changes in the rear . I run on highbite clay/dirt mix with m4 primes

Move The Shocks !!!!
I left the shocks on the rear of the tower, just to help keep some weight back there. I still have the stock C/D blocks on the rear... might pick up the alum C block. I'm still wrapping my head around the hold positions and what they do so forgive me, but wouldn't going out +5 on the C block decrease toe-in?

Not sure how that solves the rear traction issue coming out of the corner, though... front of tower = less rear weight bias / less rear traction.
