I went to a track day at Inde Motorsports Park last weekend (Saturday only) and signed up for both time trial (Hotlaps) and the open passing group. I was running R888's that have a lot of heat cycles now, Whiteline front bar set on the 2nd softest setting, Strano rear bar set on the softest...

Norm, I drove the car today and it does not lean as much with the roll center raised. Pretty noticeable actually. This must be the sensation I am experiencing which is a good thing. This was only on the street, but still very apparent.

Took the car for a drive after rear sway bar (Strano) and front roll center kit (Steeda) was installed. It probably sounds weird, but I would swear the front "feels" like its 4" higher. Does that make sense or am I hallucinating again.

Sam Strano talked me into his sway bar set with 1-3/8" front and thin wall 1" rear. I got the front bar to save the weight, but will probably retain the WL end links. Plus I'll have options if the stiffer WL bar is needed.

Does anyone know which aftermarket adj rear swaybar is smallest? I think the Steeda one is larger than stock and I'd like the option of making it softer than stock. BTW, I dyno'ed the car when I was at T Hill and the best pull was recorded at 644 whp at 5800 rpm. The operator was having...

Norm, I did remove the rear bar for my road trip as I was afraid it would be too stiff with the 250# rear springs and I didn't want too much oversteer that I couldn't adjust. I thought I was playing it safe but it resulted in an annoying level of understeer. Living and learning.

I am planning on getting an adj Steeda rear bar. The Whiteline one won't fit with my lowered panhard bar. I ran the car at Sonoma today and had the shocks on fairly low settings. Even with street tires (BFG Rivals), there was noticeable body roll. Had the same understeer issues as at T Hill...

My Whiteline front bar is on the second softest and no rear bar.

Ran with NASA N. Cal yesterday at Thunderhill. I was in the HPDE group 4 which is open passing. We ran both directions (not at the same time, ha) which was cool. The blind hill-cresting corners were a little intimidating in the reverse/clockwise direction. I had run this direction a long time...

I may eventually go with the higher spring rates later, but for now 550's will have to do. For the shocks, plan to start on softer settings and slowly bump up both rebound and compression until I feel I'm losing ground. For my trip to CA, I need to make it as comfy as possible for the wife...

Hey B2B, I imagine I'll want different settings for the street vs. the track. I was hoping someone here had experience with my particular set up to get me in the ballpark. Maybe Terry Fair will weigh in.

First street impressions of the new MCS TT2 shock/springs and CC plates both from Vorschlag was quite good. It was worth the wait. Much smoother on the street than I expected with the 250# springs in the rear. From the lowest setting, I set initial rebound and compression at 4 in the front and...

Does anyone here have experience with the MCS TT2 shocks? Any advice on initial bump and rebound settings?

It's a Shelby thing. You wouldn't understand. :bleh:

I'll be joining Hooked on Driving at Sonoma on April 22nd (wed). Hope to see you!

Hey folks. I appreciate the input. For some history, I've been a part time track day enthusiast for over ten years and ran a Masdaspeed Miata, 4th gen Camaro and now the Mustang. Re the bilge pumps, they run inline of the 3"ducts and help maintain air flow even in slow corners and post hot laps...

Hello fellow track hounds. I decided to log my journey to build a combo street/track day balancing act with my 2011 GT500 on this forum. I started a thread on another forum, but this one seems to have more RR enthusiasts for input. So far here is what I've changed on the car. Brakes are...

Just for the record, I ran a whiteline front bar on the second softest setting and no rear bar on a 2011 GT500 with SVTPP springs. The car understeered terrible. The rear spring was too weak to keep the inner front tire on the ground when accelerating even a little out of corners. I put the...
