Wishbone suspension bolt on kit

Nice! So besides the wheelspin and body roll how'd you do?

Kind of in the middle. The fastest car was a Super 7 knockoff with 12" Avon slicks and a V8, one of the slowest a VW New Beetle.

There was a guy who competes there regularily with a Chrysler Crossfire with sticky tires, and I think we had the same time. I ended up with a best run of 46.8s, the slick guys were 42-44s, and many in the 48-51s.

For street tires and it's first outing, I was pretty impress. Tire temps were even accross, let out a little more air, she's sitting right at 1990 lbs now, so with 205s up front and 255s in the rear, I was down to about 27psi.

I need to get the rear swaybar on and see how that affects things.

Jason,

What's your tyre temps front/rear? I wonder if you need a stiffer front bar before adding a rear? It doesn't look as though you have too much understeer.

As I remember they were about 97 deg. It's not so much about grip on the front, although I did get some understeer, the main problem was getting power down due to roll. I don't have a LSD yet, so I would be just spinning the inside tire unless I waited for the car to settle, so I'd like to keep the rear wheels planted better. My weight distribution is 60/40, so I thought I'd start with the stock small front bar in the back and see what it did for me.

I've not had ANY experience with sway bar selection besides just purchasing uprated one's for various cars over the years, so I'm in the dark as to what I'll get from what I add.

I have been looking at this particular setup and have found the engineering to be superb. What do yoy think?

It has some issues IMHO, but I've seen it in person, its very nice. I talked to the builder, Bruce, and as I recall it was designed by an old INDY engineer, so it seems it would do the job. See what he has to say, he's a great guy. I don't have any knowledge of how it works, but I'm sure it works a ton better than stock!
