I didn't get a chance to change back over the the A tower, but I will before the next race.
I run on a lower bite track and the c hubs definitely loosen it up. I think it is because they keep the rear end flatter. On higher bite tracks keeping the rear flatter can give more traction and help prevent traction rolls. The c-hubs are not magical. They are for tuning. That is why I got the avid A/C hubs, so i can easily change it and see if I like it for a given track.
