setup questions on the X6
 
Hi all,

Just trying to get my head round a few things on the X6

first, why do you run the front shocks on the outside hole on the arm? On the B4, it was always the inside hole, and to be honest, i kinda prefer the inside hole on the x6 as well, but see so many people choosing the outside hole......

Second, has anyone really fiddled with raising the gearbox on the x6?

nice one,

Stan

raising the gearbox will give more forward bite and less side bite and lowering it
does the opposite- more side bite and less forward bite

I run my X6 with shocks on inside of wshbone at front indoors but outer hole for outdoors, on the inside it makes the front end slightly more aggressive but on the outer its a little safer and easier to drive

outside hold help with the hight speed or on power sterring you lose with the x6
and the e speed bits and rear end set up is where you gain your low speed pivot from

if i remeber right

Pretty much.

Inner hole gets you in well but not out, outer hole is nice and easy on the way in but more out.

I play with the tranny height dependent on grip, if I want more traction it goes up. Normally I run low though. Raised it for Taly last year and the euro's and think that was it.

E.

is that because the suspension is stiffer, or because it gives less droop?

Would having the dampers on the inside hole, but with spacers inside to limit the droop, give a similar effect?

nice one :)
