The MS version is built with 1A,1A in front and 1XB,1D in the rear, but with 1mm spacers under all of the blocks. This is equivalent to A,A and XB*,D, so I don't really see why they didn't use the evo blocks, unless it's to give us the option to lower the blocks. Have any of you tried this ?

The rear toe is the same 3 degrees but the MS is narrower in the rear.
In the stock settings the roll centers are the same - same hinge pin height and camber link height.

The rear sway bar is different - narrower in the MS and it mounts on the balls on the out side front of the arm rather than the inside. Is this how the 415 is?


*XB doesn't exist as far as I know

"X" series blocks only appears for the 415/415MS series cars. Kilruf mentioned above it is 1mm lower in roll center. and also allows you to narrow the stance a little bit.

here are the blocks from narrowest to widest from the 415/evoIV

1XD
1XC
1XB
1XA
1X | X
1A | A
1B | B
1C | C
1D |D
-- | E

so it looks like they duplicated the evoIV set up on the evoIV MS BUT the narrowed the width of the car in the rear.
