Went back to the 2.5 block and all was good again.
From what im finding it depends a lot on the Tyre. This weekend i raced on Nosram 30X tyres, the car was very inconsistant with the "std" setup we have been using. I tried lots and as soon as i put the 0 block on the front the car was much better to drive and way faster. I actually found teh car turned more consistantly around the corner rather than lots of initial turn, and understeer middle or out of the corner. If you use the 0 block make sure you uses 5.5mm of hex on the front.

I wouldnt go longer than 65mm if you want to use higher ride heights as we talked about a few pages back
