Mecky, why not run a higher front (and rear) rate? Mine is street/track and I started with 250lb front and kept going up. 650 now and it's a little rough but even 400lb wasn't too bad. If it's track only and smooth you can get away with quite a bit.

How much front camber do you run? It doesn't look like more is needed, just curious.

My next bar will be like Turboforce's but a hollow one.

I can't really name a reason, these rates were just iterations from the basic set-up and the car's suspension was one of its best features over the years. It was very predictable and I was able to improve my lap times a lot. Other areas were much more important to improve, in order to make the car reliable and also faster.

My camber is -2.0° front and -1.5° rear.
