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.

Rear end traction
I recently picked up the b6D kit built it and have driven it a couple times now. I'm struggling with rear end traction. My battery is all the way back,in the rear I'm running green springs with 30wt and 21 ride height all the way around. I usually run a med/high bite clay. I was curious if anyone had any tips for this.

I added a brass c block and then run the exotek battery brace so i was able to remove the waterfall and move the battery further back against the motor. Certainly helped but then again most of the fast pro's aren't removing the waterfall, etc so there are more than one way to attack the problem.

I don't run a waterfall in my B6 and B6D and it helped me get more traction and better handling in high bite clay track and dirt loose track.

..... well ... there's a big chance that the common joe doesn't drive like those "fast pros" so that doesn't really count. The only way to know if it works for your driving style is to try it out.

I'm going to assume you're running a 3 gear standup. I maintain both a laydown and a standup rig. Both are easy to drive, but the standup is just plain fun because it has gobs of rear traction, steering when I need it (it has an off-power push through the corner and that's it - on power it rivals my laydown), and can be pushed hard, particularly when mashing the throttle out of the corner. And this is all with the battery in the middle position, not all the way in the rear.
Of course this is all contingent on the right tires

I think guys are using the B64 sways which will work and i think are heavier?
