    Rear caliper area?

    Parking brake not required but it would be nice. Just wondering what the diameter is so I can run some numbers.

    Rear caliper area?

    .....Or piston diameter? Does someone know or have a caliper off that they can measure. Doing some homework and tyring to decide if these will work in a non ford, non ABS setup and figured the corner carvers would be my best bet. Thanks!!

    Car Aligned 3X still Drifts to Right

    Goes to google, throws hands in air, what the hell? I haven't done an alignment since 1999. In the hundred or so that I have had done since then on various cars, I always request that they are set symmetrically.......so I remembered it wrong apparently. Here I thought I made it two days...

    Car Aligned 3X still Drifts to Right

    More positive = higher caster number = pulls to that side. Since you were talking about using caster to compensate for road crown, and since we drive on the right side of the road you would want to add caster (higher number, more positive, however you would like to label it) to the _drivers_...

    Car Aligned 3X still Drifts to Right

    I think you know this, but what I bolded above is backwards. A higher caster number will move the wheel further back.....very, very slightly. The car will pull to the side with the higher caster number or the shorter wheel base side.

    Rear Upper Shock/Damper Mounts >>Hey Norm<<

    I used the MM bearing mounts with the JRi shocks that I had on the car. I machined up some hardware to make it work.

    Rival-S and RE71s on track?

    Lol, #comprehenshunprahblemz I read days as track days because I measure autocross in runs. I don't think you will get that life out of the Rival S or RE71r. We 2 driver the car everywhere we go and went through 3 sets of Re71s. That's 4, 2 driver trackdays and approximately 250 autox runs...

    Street Touring Pony (STP) - It's here!

    When they figure out the huge IRS advantage isn't huge, then the IRS guys have to go and buy another set of wheels. Make it 11s for all, 285s for the IRS cars. The handicap still exists with the tire limit and it is way easier to adjust later. You saw this, right...

    Glad it made it!! Wrote a letter hoping they fix the wheel width rule.

    Rear Upper Shock/Damper Mounts >>Hey Norm<<

    Regarding what Norm was saying about Delrin bushings. RideTech does just that for their stud mount applications. The aluminum on the top and bottom acts as a race and the Delrin you see is actually two pieces that interlock and form a sphere. We have used these on a bunch of GM musclecars...

    Rear Upper Shock/Damper Mounts >>Hey Norm<<

    Not wasting even a few thousandths of movement in a rubber bushing is worth when running top notch dumpers. Maximum Motorsports has spherical bearing mounts for the SN95 that I used on my S197. You have to open the center hole up and drill four 3/8" holes to bolt them in. They have a...
