A's in the front and I can't remember the back but it was 2.5 toe in. I'll check when I get home from work.

A's are too narrow in the front. You will traction roll. Run C-C in the front

I refuse to glue sidewalls. I hated doing it foam tires back in the day and even more now. There is always a suspension solution. You just need to work to find it.

I'll add them to my list of suspension parts I need to buy.

The problem is, how do they compare to the existing blocks like A's? Are they narrower? Wider? Since they are E's I would expect them to be wider.

They are a lot wider .75mm for every letter. So 3mm total width increase. They are also .5mm lower which lowers the roll center

You'll be way off pace then. Black carpet is a lot different than grey carpet. If you are going to King, just do yourself a favor and glue dem sum bitches. Not unless if you like being a second or so off pace. You'll be chasing setup all day long. Of course it depends who shows up as well. hehe Do just the fronts.

I run C/C and had plenty of initial steering with no traction roll.

I had some serious traction roll issues, and adding 1.5mm shims to my outer camber links solved the problem.

So I'm going to have to compete with you in Mini and GT2?

I haven't built mine yet but the advice I got was hard front parts, Spool, and I also picked up some of the aluminium bling(steering, pulleys, etc). I have yet to get the motor mount pieces.
