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.

i installed the +1 plates and will need to install the gullwings which i have purchased. I have made some changes to the car so I will make additional changes to see how it works out but just driving it around the house it seems like it inherently has a wider turning radius... kinda strange.. but i am a strange guy so...

Had mine on the track for the second time, and really digging the car. Back end is a touch squirrel coming out of the corners on-throttle. I have the kit setup + laydown (shocks still on rear, though). Thinking of the following changes, in order:
- + 0.5 degrees antiquat
- Rear hubs forward
- Front lower shock mounts to B (middle) position
- 32.5wt front shocks
- Rear upper shock mounts to 1
- + 0.5 degrees antiquat
- Rear hubs forward
- Front lower shock mounts to B (middle) position
- 32.5wt front shocks
- Rear upper shock mounts to 1
