Looking for more rear wnd grip when it gets damp or on slippy surfaces ive got the rf susp holder on the rear front also running the rb5 arms , any advice on how to get more rear end grip?

To my understanding the stock arms allow for a bit more grip, and narrower holders would locks in the rear a bit more.

rf2 is for mid motor rf is for rear motor
you can how ever use the rr2 and rf front brkt to increase toe in to around 3.5 degree

RF = Rear Front narrow
RR = Rear Rear narrow

RF2 = Rear Front Wide
RR2 = Rear Rear Wide

Both options are available for mid and rear configured cars.

It is not intended that the '2' and original braces are mixed. If you do you'll get some severe toe in/out.

I would stick with the wide (2) which is kit standard.

On very low grip it might be worth flipping the RB5 arms an going long wheelbase in the hub. This will be about 1.5mm shorter than short wheelbase with the wishbones round the normal way.

That would give 4.5 degrees by side.
On the other way (RR and RF2) gives 1.5 by side.

Using the RF block is something ive been playing with, it does give abit more toe in than id want (4.5 as gayo says) however it does give the feel of more drive when traction drops.
The standard rf2 block in low grip is real hard work!

4 degrees is the ideal toe in id want in lower grip, for me personally.

Yes but have they got the rr one to adjust the track width? That's the key thing to change in low grip I've been told...

sorry I meant 4.5 not 3.5
I used it a few times in low grip it worked fine
but have now got both front and rear adjustable toe in blocks now and it is fantastic for fine tuning track width and toe in
