What impact did the version 2 rear suspension have over version 1? Using V2 rear end, on the standard camber link, does the car have the same amount of camber change as V1????

I'm far from an expert, but I just changed to the version 2 rear suspension yesterday, and I definitely noticed a difference in my car's handling. The rear seems much more firmly planted, and doesn't slide out quite as unpredictably anymore.

It isn't quite as smooth though. The upper links have rotating metal hubs within plastic, and they aren't all consistently smooth. That affects suspension travel. Plus, both the pivot balls are on the bottom now, making for double the friction down there.

As for camber, you actually have another hole to choose for camber links. I use this new, middle inside hole, and it gives greater camber response during suspension travel. I noticed an improvement in side to side tire wear using it.
