Setup wheels? I have not seen those yet ! I've only seen the yellow shoes as like you have.
But in all truth, the generic setup wheels that I've seen can be prooved useful as I find you can set up the car quicker than you could with the Hudy prisms. Especially during race day. With a camber gauge, you could take pretty accurate camber and toe readings. I think the only thing you cannot do is take front toe.
As the setup wheels come in a specific diameter (62 mm if I'm not mistaken), you could take ride height without making any adjustments assuming you run 62 mm most of the time. You could also check tweak with the lift method as the setup wheels are accurate.

The set up wheels are 64 mm in diameter. How can you measure your toe accurate with these wheels. Using a ruler or your cambergauge?

For the rear toe, just make the rear end of the car stand on a flat surface with the front end of the car pointing upwards. The car should be resting flat on the rear shock towers. Then use the camber gauge to measure the rear toe in.

so as far as the stock gears holding up to the power of the Max S5 I wouldn't have the slightest idea
As far as my name is concerned you might ask yourself so why did you name yourself FW05R...............My answer to that is that kit was my initial choice

Sorry, nobody bought for me or gave me a 710 for my recent birthday. Perhaps that's a sign Serpent has depleted all the older stocks of the rear Impulse / 705 / 710 belts.
