I think you run at mcculloughs too since i recognize your screen name. I don't have a .2 but it is upgraded all the way to .2 specs. In my buggy, i am running black front, 1.6 pistons, 32.5wt oil and 2mm spacer under the ball stud. For the rear, white springs, 1.6 pistons, 30wt oil and one ball stud washer under the ball stud with a stock ubrace. I am also running 1 degree toe out.
The car is really good there but my driving consistency isn't great. If you are on the right tire i would say it could be your driving style. I know MW ran the shaved u brace there and didn't like it, but Marsh shaves his and obviously does very well.

For me, on our track, I can get the almost the same feel from the c hub or a hub. This is the fun of low to medium bite.
The thing with the c hub is it allows for a much lower roll center setting, so if you find yourself running the stiffer springs like white or grey in the rear of your car, then you can use the c hubs to get some of your chassis roll back for infield traction. For our track, greens in the rear work best, so we actually have a lot of chassis roll readily available and C hubs need to be run with zero washers shaved to even work right. Then you're left with nowhere to go if you want a higher roll center, so we tend to stick with As on almost everything here. Those who go out of town will tell you that Cs work very well on other tracks, so it is seriously just a tuning option, no one option works better everywhere.

I decided to try extremes yesterday... started with C hub / shaved +1mm and then went straight to A hub / std +2mm.
The first setup (C hub) would be free going into the turn and as you rotate through, then when you hit the gas it locks in and you have good bite.
The second setup (A hub) was very locked in going into the turns and through the middle, but if you jumped on the gas, it would wash out.
I hope that helps illustrate the differences (at least to me). Remember this is extreme switches and every track will feel different. Best thing I can tell you is get out there and compare them back to back.

A hubs are the new C hubs!!111 QUICK, everybody switch back to As now. Come on sheeple! It has to be better!
It's a tuning option. Don't be fooled. Different tracks like different stuff.
