There are differences between early ED hubs and later ones. Talking 88 spec. I can't remember what exact differences are, but it's camber again.
USA autocrossers seem to prefer the earlier hubs.

same deal again from fitting VT hubs IIRC.

Yea but what i need to know 90% of people dont pay attention too
Its the clearance from the hub to my bag i need as much as i can get but nobody has a guide as to which hubs to use for that

short of just guessing at random im trying to be kinda logical in it all
