I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

Hi
I just got the b6d with laydown conversion kit. Track I run at is high traction clay, we use super soft m4 primes. I'm going to look through this thread a little more closely but plan on starting the build tomorrow. I'm going to go box set up for now and work on tweaking it as I play with it. What else is suggested... I've heard gullwing mount and gullwing front arms... B5M was run with flat at my track.. What's the difference there? What's the story with the front shaft tower... I've heard it's a little weak and there is another to go with? Thanks in advanced.

The JC shock caps, upper and lower as well as collars work correct with the b6 shocks? They are the same as the b5 I believe...

Long Towers
Is it recommended to use the long eyelets for all long towers/long shock bodies? I bought the diggity design long towers and was wondering what people were using. I realize schelle recommends the short eyelets for there long body towers.

If its a copy of the AE tower id just go off what Matt said a few pages back.
Less flex. Lighter wallet.
