The HB Racing team seems to use some prototype parts at the worlds, such as new front hubs, additional weight at the front bottom of the front hubs, new rear arms, longer springs, etc.

Those rear pills are like directional arrows. You can do a few things.
1. Keep what toe is on the rear d block, but narrow the rear track width.
2. Keep what toe is on the rear d block, but widen the rear track width.
3. add or subtract a .5* of rear toe.

If depending how you alter the rear pills changes the toe angle.

Bring the front of the rear hubs in only, adds more toe. / \
Bring the back of the rear hubs in reduces to angle. \ /

Of course you can also vary the roll center by where you have the hub height.
A lot of good tuning in those uprights.

Hope this helps.

only one I use up front on HB

The mount will fit. However the screws are a 3mm that feed in from the bottom on the new mount. The adjusters are what set your mesh with the new mount. If you could use the old screws with the new mount there would be no issue adapting.
