Corners are smooth. 3mm trailing. -1 camber all around with no toe. 27.5 rear 32.5 front. Medium set diff. 2.5+2 toe block. 23mm ride height front and rear. B4.2 jcon wing with wing mount flipped so it's at a angle with screw hole in rear. Same tires as everyone else with success. White spring rear green spring front. 17.5 reedy 33/72. All stock locations on ball studs. Think that's enough info lol thanks for the help.
If it's high bite, it's very possible you have your slipper too tight that it's lifting the front and taking weight off the steers. Try loosening it and see if that helps before farting around with your links, axle trail, Ackerman or shocks.

No issues since I bought it in December. I use a glitch buster as well, though.

The shocks mount at different heights on the tower for each arm.
What about using the B5 rear arms on the B5M? Are the heights ok with the M tower? The rear shock towers aren't interchangeable....

Hmmm... if the front shock towers arent interchangeable like Rigor has mentioned then these carcon bling ones wont work for 1 of the cars.

I heard the rears have different spacing and would not work interchangeable

I have the slipper set correctly. I did try loosening it a bit more then usual and it didn't help. Thanks though.

30 degrees motor timing is a good starting point.

The rear arms are not exactly the same but can be run on either car.
The dog-bone sweep changes slightly. Shock mounting is the same on both.

When I ran Reedy's, I ran 40 to max timing and geared for temps.

The b5 front tower works on the b5m, you just need to match it with the correct arms, either gull or flat. I'm currently running the flat arms and tower that I traded a guy for at my track and he took them off his b5. I'm just curious from a quality and function standpoint if anyone has tried the carbon fiber towers or heard from anyone who has.
