At my track, everyone who ran barcodes, used v1. I'm pretty sure it was because it had better side bite.

I then changed over to the 521 arms and I noticed a difference in just ride height right away. It seemed to me anyway that the gull arms brought the rear of the car down too much and I think ride height on these cars, especially in the rear is critical to handling.
other than that I hear the 521's calm the car down and give you better roll center speed. More testing this weekend.

I am interested in switching to the 521 rear arms. A page or so back, someone mentioned that you need to change to medium shock ends to achieve the proper droop. Does anyone know what the part number is for medium shock ends?

I built and raced my car for the first 3 or 4 race days with gull wing arms and it was ok but the rear ride height was really low when you tried to get the rear drive shafts to level out as I adjusted the ride height.

The only difference between the 521s, and the gullwing arms, are how much/easily they flex/twist (and the fact that droop doesn't change on the gullwing arms when you change your lower shock mounting position). If you didn't change your shock collar placement and your shock ends to match droop from one type of arm to the other type of arm, that is what change you saw. The arm has nothing to do with ride height otherwise.

So when you switch to the rb5 arms, you run shorter ends, and move the shock collar up the same amount. Ride height doesn't change.
