I have a B5m thats fully tricked up, not really worth anything here in UK, I know that the schelle rear hubs will fit but I lose axle height adjustment
also looking at it I have ally rear wing mounts, but they would move the wing 10mm forwards,
is this likely to be an issue?
just trying to save parts from waste on the B5m and upgrade the B6 without spending a fortune again LOL

sport10 and Balony, thanks!
I ran some practice laps yesterday. Basically, after practicing, I switched to the short eyelet. The dogbone pin is just so close to the end of the outdrive at full droop that in the right crash event, the bone may pop out causing DNF. I also suspect that the piston is better placed in the shock fluid column with the short eyelet at the front of the arm.
I am not super fast, but I love the way the car handles in this configuration. Just gobs and gobs of steering, carries so much corner speed, jumps flat

No, but I can see how they may also help keep the bone in the outdrive. In the end, I followed Kody's recommendation and overall droop is reduced enough to keep things in check
EDIT: actually, I'm not sure this is true. the back end of my car is apart right now. I will take a real close look at things when I get it back together. thinking about it now without the car in front of me, I think the biggest effect is the tension on the shock spring as the eyelet "looses" length at the shaft/spring retainer (threads are showing now) and not the bottom. this will mean I have to change the shock collar setting to maintain ride height. uuuggghhh confusion...
