I run the pin high front/ low rear combination because i feel for me it gives me the most balance on the car. I find running pin high all rounds means the car rotates through the corner too much and pin low means loss of forward traction again in my opinion. This is something i ran on my SX3 and when testing put on my K1 and it made a big difference.

What you have to remember is that if you dont space the front block down when running this combination, you would technically be running 4mm worth of anti squat as the difference in hole height is 4mm. I space the front pin down by 2.5mm, therefore giving a an overall antisquat of 1.5mm, hence 1.95 degrees of squat. The calculation is worked out the same for toe in and antisquat, its just a typo on the setup sheet. Ralf's point of having to run this configuration is not correct, its just personal preference for me.

And yes I am running big bores at the moment.

Hope this helps!
