Default Thanks for the feedback...

My ride is pretty stiff for the street already. Even though I'm running H&R's and Koni's, the solid bushings really dial in quite a measure of anti-roll. Car corners pretty flatly. I guess I just need to drive it on a track a few times to ascertain what tweaks I need to implement before I go buying more parts. Good luck with the idea/product, though. :-)

Default Ahh, makes sense.

FWIW, Rich, no word on the grilles yet. He's been extremely busy at the "office", and it may be a ways out yet. I'll get on him about it though, once his time frees up a bit.

Thanks for the feedback on the sway bar. If it's for the front, I think I'll definitely hold off until I get some more seat time. She's looking pretty, though. :-)

Default You're probably right.

I've got coilovers with 325/375 f/r right now and it's pretty stiff. Too stiff to drive around daily but still a bit soft for serious roadcourse work. But it hass a very nice handling balance, much like Martin describes above with easily controllable oversteer.

What are you running for spring rates? Do you have a rear bar? How do you like the ride and balance?

Cheers,
Rich

Default Hmm...

...could this bar work on the front of a CGT? If so, keep me posted.

Default My car is running springs from the 1000 Lakes Rally

I don't know the rate, but they're REALLY stiff.

No sway bars front or rear. Car has a slight oversteer tendency on asphalt. Back end is a bit loose.

Almost all factory rally cars ran with a rear swaybar, but none at front.... even the shorty
