Standard or +4mm rear brace
Hey folks I'm looking to replace the standard plastic rear arm mounts and I'm wondering which way is the best to go.
How does the +4mm brace help? Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

Hi,
I found the +4mm rear better on the B5m on higher traction surfaces. Just remember you'll need the following for it to work properly. +4mm c brace. 5mm hexes CVA shim (otherwise axles can fall out of drive shaft at full droop.) The +5mm hexes keep the rear the same width. (Kit is 7mm) MiCk B. :-)

The +4 mm should help in most situations

You don't need the 5mm hexes the car still makes legal width without them.

+4mm with 5mm Hex feels way better on Astro

In what way is it better though? Steering response, on/off power steering, forward/lateral traction, rear stability? Just trying to gauge what it will give me to weather it will send my car in the direction I am looking for as made a few changes recently and it has made my B5M so much better to drive but there are still a couple of kinks I want to work out. The tracks around me are generally lowish grip astro and grass.
Sorry for the rambling lol. |
