I've kept the 2 degree ones to one side and will whip them back on in the event of unpredictability...but at least on the bench the 0 degree flipped ones feel lovely and means I have a greater range of useful movement in the shock, i.e. they're threaded into the middle of the shock now whereas before they were almost fully tightened down.
Well I said I'd come back on comment on the car with 0 degree blocks and anti-squat shims under the front screws to bring it back to 2 degrees of anti squat.

It was freaking awesome! Never have I felt the X-5 so planted and predicable to drive fast. This was on an indoor circuit at the Southport GP. Two carpet types, jumps, bumps / ripples and slippery tarp. I'm certainly sticking with this mod.
