I have seen the CAD images. The top decks are stiffer, like what Leeroy was testing at Reedy. The rear tower is also 3mm taller and thicker, again, what Lee was already testing.
New inner toe blocks to increase rear toe. They look the same.
The camber mod is a little different. It looks like a Rudebits mod, but all one piece aluminum with no carbon fiber. Four pieces total.

Thanks Kentech,

I guess the question is whether the set is worth cost? I have the Rudebits camber link set, the sway bar set and aluminium centre shafts. So how much difference will the new upper chassis decks make and the new rear shock tower? There are also the rear suspension lower mount adjustments and the centre shaft universals. Mmmmmmm....

I guess it answers that question of 502X or 511X, i.e. which one is TRF developing. Will be interesting to see if TRF brings out anything for the 511 in the future.

Please note that the sway bar is 1.4 mm and is not included in the 501x sway bar set.
