At the Pro-Solo and at Solo Nationals you can't take passengers so I need to set the car up to be at it's best with just me in the car.
Yup ! Sure do!

I also recently split a sway bar end link bushing and instead of just replacing it, I've ordered a RideTech MuscleBar front sway bar. I'm hoping I'll have time to get it, get it installed and get all of the other alignment and ride height settings updated before Nationals in a month...along with some time to test n tune on the car. This bar is around 30% stiffer than the bar currently in the car and will necessitate a rear spring rate change as well...but should make a huge improvement in the handle of the car on the track. It still just rolls way too much as it is now.

Yup ! We will need to increase the rear spring (or sway bar) rate to keep the FLLD/RLLD correct ... which is what the key to the car's balanced/neutral handling!

Overall the car has been fantastic to drive this year, everyone that rides with me on track has a blast in it, it always gets lots of pictures taken of it, and overall the response to it has been a lot of fun. I wouldn't change any of that.

Lance,

Post up the diameter & wall thickness of your current bar ... and your new Ridetech Muscle Bar ... and I'll run the calcs to figure out the rear spring rate increase needed. This way everyone can learn along with us.
