I would agree except for the fact that supporting the diff should take a lot less stress than the front wheels took, so that is something we are just gonna have to see. The axle height inserts on the RC10F6 have issues as well which there are a couple easy fixes for, but again those are more inline with the front axle inserts because they take impact during a crash. |

So the trans is flipped and laying down? And why are we having the slipper spring on the opposite side?

Two reasons most likely. One is to keep the spring and nut inside the body, other is to make it easier to swap spur gears without removing the trans from the chassis.

Flipping the top shaft and slipper nut/ spring moves the weight of those parts more centerline. While the parts don't weigh much, it is rotating mass that was hanging off the side of the car and now it is closer to center.

looks like you can not use the current slipper lock out from Avid, Schelle, Exotek.
that alone will make everyone buy a new car instead of a conversion kit there is your answer on the slipper design. design the car so current B6 owners cant justify an upgrade so they all have to buy a new car, than spend more money to buy upgrades because the current upgrades don't work no more. I'd say that is a very smart coordination between area 51 and third party parts manufactures!!! I'm not bitching, just saying. I will be preordering when it comes up |

Just make sure you do a search (Ty Tessman has a good video) on setting up your sway bars. The little grub screws shouldn't be so tight to lock down the sway bar. I've just recently found this out, and properly installed sway bars on my B6 has made it easier to drive. I didn't think they were doing me much good until I figured out I'd installed mine wrong.

Rear shocks are different for the B6 vs. B6D
one has less thread? |
Forgive me if it's been covered already, but what does changing the differential height affect?
