You can't remove the stock hoops, so I don't see why this is necessary.

The Harddog roll bar lets you keep all of the stock parts during installation:

yeah I specifically got the harddog so I could keep the interior and be legal for STR. Its not a big deal to keep the factory seat belt. I just have the potential to remove it at this point and wanted to be sure.

I noticed there was the call out in the prepared rules for restraints so I assumed I had to keep it but figured I would ask.

 

What do you guys think of Corner Balancing? Is it worth the effort? Is it a point of diminishing returns?

 

What are people running for Camber Front and rear? Specifically with the ideal offsets, ideal rim width, and ideal tire size 255's (62-63mm and 9" Wide).

I've searched for STR and Camber.. but I'm finding just a lot of "Will this fit if I have 8" wide wheels and +45 offset...etc"

So, basically, has anyone actually setup an STR car proper? I found a MX5 Miata that lists it's camber... and ironically has almost my identical setup... but it's a Miata.

 

no other way to install coilovers....

 

2.5-2.6deg front camber. Rear camber no more than 2.4. Tune rear camber to your driving style and hand speed.

 

FWIW, I have 2.5 front and 2.0 rear.

 

I need to get some new engine mounts, I know that this topic was mention on page 36, but there was no real clarification of the rules. Can we replace the stock engine and transmission mounts for something like innovative mounts that are a bit harder than stock?

 

FWIW, when I installed my shocks, I set the spring perches to the exact same height on both sides of car. When I corner balanced the car, I didn't need to make any modifications. The car is 50/50 with out a person in it. When you get in, all the weight is on one side and it's balanced between the front and rear wheels so there's nothing more you can do to get it more balanced.

 

-2.0 front, -2.1 rear with zero toe all around.

Once I am able to get offset bushings for the front arms, we will try more, as our front camber is maxed out, and the rear is at the minimum setting.
