I am thinking of trying this combo for the track use...stock suspension except with comptech front bar and no rear bar and run it with 245 tires all around on 17x9. Anyone have try this? I just want to get the baseline of how the car will do especially with the 245 all around.

The Comptech bar would probably be way too much up front to run without a rear bar. I'm pretty sure the guys running no rear bar are doing so with a stock front. Also, being able to run without a rear bar is very dependent on spring rates; what are yours?

I once ran stock suspension (& stock front bar) with no rear bar and 225f/245r and found the balance was fairly good. So a stiffer front bar with 245 all around (or 255, or anything else that fits) would probably get you in the right ballpark.

I'm using 245/45/16 ra1s on oem rear wheels (7.5") all around w/ stock suspension. Depending on track, I sometimes run without a rear bar to put power down, but always with a wing. With the proper alignment settings the car will handle well.

You'll only get about -2 front camber. Also, you should run more rear toe-in: a full 1/8" (total).

Okay so I will try to get as much negative camber as possible and then instead I will use your recommendation on the rear toe-in....thanks

I thought the rear oem rim wouldn't fit the front hub ... did you modify them?

Raymund

^ yes, just enough to fit.

I put in on a mill to punch a bigger hole.
