the offset Balls for the A-arms will take out or add about 1~1.5deg.... one more thing you can do is flip the Xenon hubs around to talk out some of that rear toe..
and as for what deg toe in you have right now..... I would say that you ar in the ball park of 2.8~3.0 deg in

Thanks Dave. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count that high.
So far I have the rear of the car almost all on the Xenon chassis. I did also put the mid span hardened arms on as well. I do need to get some shock bushings. When I bought the R2 used it didn't have any on it.
Not a problem though as I'm going ot get everything built onto the Xenon chassis and then order from Speedtech all the stuff I need plus a few other goodies.
Anyone know what degree of caster the Xenon caster blocks have? My car came with them on. One more question is if I use the off setup ball studs what degree of toe in does it remove. The car looks like it has 3 degrees of toe per side right now. I would like to have a little less. Maybe use 1 degree hubs or off set ball studs or some zero degree rear hubs would be nice to.

But they will be made the more people want them the faster I think I can get them made...$$$ talks too
but they will have all of the positions of the R3/R2 ones along with one more position
..( I hope ) but if your in a hurt for some alloy knuckles that have a mid point between the R2/R3 ones try the Jet Hobby ones they have there mounting point right between were the two holes are

P.S. Will this conversion be in pink carbon fiber? I need it to match my pink R3 and think there is one other member who might want pink cf too

This is a great thread. You need Cuda help this is the place. Man I'm working hard to have the car exactly the way I want it for next Sat. I'm racing mod with it. I normally run stock or sometimes 19 turn but this track I'm going to mainly runs mod. Last time I was their with my Pro4 I was TQ by a lap. I have some ideas on gearing that I had on my Pro4 so will see what happens.

Handy that the Pro 4 has the exact same gearing as the Cuda
Well I'm back from SMTCA round 2 at Ayr.....
Qualified 3rd in the 19Spec A final and managed to finish 1st
My first big event win
