Default Eating Crow....

Driving Ambition has helped me prep the race car this winter. (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=682269)
Including some VERY stiff spring setup and cage changes, he had me install my old STB and spoon x brace.

My car was very fast this weekend racing at Sears Point and there were too many changes to pin the stability on just those 2 items but since I've always been so anti them..........



Gotta trust the ex-indy crew chief tho.


BTW. www.drivingambition.us FTW!

Yeah, I remember one of the first replies you ever made to me on the forum was a really rude and nasty set of comments on how I was an idiot for getting a Whiteline X-brace....

1200F 1000R right now, but we'll probably play with that more before next race.
Car is also almost 1" lower than last year.

Interesting... At the end of Feb, I swapped from 800F/700R to 700F/800R with a Saner front bar (on full soft) and no rear bar. I'm running 255x4 R888's and was still getting some inside rear lift on concrete before the control arm broke. I was thinking of going up to 800F/1000R, since that would only require me to buy one set of springs. I sent the shocks off to be refreshed due to a dent in the LF, so I figure now is a good time to make any spring/shock changes.

I have a kaaz diff so I don't need to worry about wheel lift. you might want to consider it (assume you can in your auto-x class)

Saner bar in front on full soft, rear bar is a 5/8ths solid from parts from speedway engineering.
