It did keep the rear from rolling in the corners. When I went to the inside hole, or shortest possible location, the rear was noticeably flatter and changed directions much quicker. I stayed with the shorter link because this is a high bite track (running electrons in mc sauced with wd40). With the longer link the car seemed lazy but easy to drive. I also had to use more brake to get it to turn, so I was able to get faster laps with a shorter link. That was what I noticed from running it.

In the front I'm running inner hole on both the tower and caster block. Didn't move the link but did take out the 2mm spacer. That tightened up the turning radius of the car and it helped the rear with changing direction faster. Just some observations. I think the best thing people can do is not be afraid to try different things. It's just one run: don't like it, change it back. Real world running does much more good than pages of talking about theory.....

Changing the shocks and camber adjustments really allowed me to carry more corner speed. Didn't need to stab the brakes to kick the rear around. Played with diff settings to get the right amount of rotation too.
Awesome, now I've got a bunch of setup advice for a track I and 90% of the US will never race on. What about tires, because that's the other 90% of any setup...
