I have my ar7's mounted 2.5 back assuming I would ski a few groomers here and there but all I ski is park so should I get them remounted to center? I know people say it's better for balance but will it really matter to remount them at center? Also i cracked my edges in two places I know it's normal so I was wondering if I should pick up a new pair, I really dont want to haha

it takes a while to get used to the sidecut when your skiing against it but its pretty good. -2.5 and center isnt too much of a change but its your call. basically if your 100% park go center if your like 50% 50% allmountain then go -2.5

yeah if you dont wanna take my judgement i completely understand. but i talked to gus kenworthy a while ago, and he said he rides his center now and loves em but -2.5 isnt too much different, just a little balance difference

2.5 isn't even an inch. Leave them where they are. I ski on elreys mounted at ski center whic is somewhere around 2.5 from true center and you don't even notice it.

youll be fine where they are. my 181's are true center and i love them all around, but then again my AR6s were also true center so i was used to it.
