FYI, do not turn into a steeply ramped driveway. My passenger fender is currently “non-compliant” due to having the inside wheel in a sharp turn support the whole weight of the front end. Also took a big chunk out of the tire as it grabbed a fender tab and completely bent it to where it was pointed out of the fender.
Moral of the story is: roll your fenders and especially those damn fender liner tabs or you too will catch a tire one day.

Dave seems to run a tad toe out in the front on his car and seems to like it. From going from stock to my alimment now is a crazy difference. It seems I get better turn in and rotation with a tad bit of toe out in the front and a small bit of toe in in the back.
I will say that I had a good A-stock season with an 1/8" of total toe out in the front. I haven't been able to feel the difference between an 1/8" total toe out and zero front toe, which is why I made my earlier statement.

The wink was a yes. If you disconnect both endlink the bar would fall down onto the drive shafts. I actually take the link off so it doesn't flop around and bend stuff.
Nick what are your alimment specs right Noe with no rear bar? Sorry for all the questions

2.2deg in the rear.
Current Setup is
Front
900lb springs
2.7deg camber
0 Toe
9deg of caster
1-3/16" 37.5" Hollow Front bar
Rear
700lb springs
2.2deg camber
.1 toe in per side (1/16" total)
Tire Pressure on the Dunlops was 38F/32R - same we ran on the RE-11's last year.
I think the lack of rear bar is allowing more load transfer onto the outside front instead of sending to the outside rear. This is hitting a sweet spot on the load vs grip plot of the tire.

No kidding. At an event early this year, there was a dip on a turning braking zone and I took a big ole chunk out of my tire and bent up my driver side fender pretty good. I bent everything back with a vise grip and some wood but it ain't pretty.

Does the rolling prevent using some of the fender liner clips? I looked briefly but the fender liner was in the way.
