Really going to depend on the weather conditions in your area and how much traction the track has.

If you're low bite, or cold weather, you'll be better off with plastic. High bite, or hot conditions the carbon will perform better.

it resists squatting......under power the rear end does not drop as fast. It helps forward bite.

I had some issue with my nut driver fitting in the hole, not bad, just snug. That's a problem I would rather avoid in a wheel I don't think looks very good, so no more de wheels for me.

More +1 or +2 degree anti squat makes for more forward bite & quicker rotation in the corners

Less anti squat makes for more side bite, slows down rotation in corner.

I believe they are awesome wheels. I did have an issue with the front 2wd wheels not fitting, put the AE wrench fixed the problem. Great wheels, except I would recommend putting 2 holes in the wheels as they do not come pre-cut.

If your running +2 anti- squat would it make sense to drop to 20 or 25 degree toe blocks instead of 30?

Almost everywhere 2 degree is the norm,

seen some use less anti squat for more traction

Outdoors 25 degree , indoors almost always 30 caster

When your done building and bleeding the shocks try pushing the shock shaft in and out several times to build up the emulsion.That should help a bit with the shaft wanting to suck back in.

Thanks, I did notice after working them they balanced out, I am use to shock pistons wanting to push out

I have done both, and most of the time i'm told that my car feels pretty good, so I know i'm not too far off. At that point they will give me pointers to help my driving which is also helpful, because I may not drive a part of the track like I should be to be faster. A lot of the guys at my track have been into racing for 15+ years.....I have been doing this for around 8-9 months. I haven't even scratched the surface yet...
