They look nice. From prior experience with those types of spherical bearings you need to make sure to keep clean and lubricated if you drive this thing on the street. They get liquids/corrosion/grime/grit in them and get stiff. I don't see any boots or additional seals on them.

I’m always tinkering with the car. Tyres are barely lasting so its always on a hoist. My race mechanic is always checking to make sure nothing is binding.

The best quality spherical bearing bars i have ever had were Dinan, on my ///M cars. They went for years without a peep.

I see you have the dial/puck. Like my Elephant Racing one. Was that seperate and extra? The pic just has a single hole. I thought that would stop possible slip and just adjust via shims?



Centre hole

Emotion is close by, so I dropped the car off for camber and alignment, and Joey came up with the package. Looks like he has new arms, but I would talk to him before ordering as his packages are geared towards the GT's.

No one will confuse your Carrera with a GT until you get a ****
The RS's here in Socal run 295/345 R7's or slicks for time trials. Drops 5sec off their practice runs on a 2min course. You need more tire!

I need more vented guard first. Then i will get sone custom wheels for more tyre.

As its end of season, just one practise round left. Its too hot to track now anyway. We see 60 degree C track temps in December. Usually have Dec/Jan off and return in Feb.

I need a mechanical diff as well. I was loosing a lot of drive out of the corners with the stiffer sway bars until i changed spring rate and git the new DSC with new map. Its a lot better but the diff still struggles coming onto the main straight.

Curved vs Straight


Does anyone know why this bar is curved on Carreras and straight on GT cars?

The replacemnet bars are made for GT and they forgwt about us . They are all straight. Its just the longest one is curved in pic . The medium and short ones are straight like GT cars.

i can’t see why we can’t replace it with the up graded straight one?



All 3 Straight

Finally replacement LCA arrived. I had ordered the GT3-RS one and they attach differently to the upright.

Had to send them back and get a MotorSport Version designed for non GT cars. The name annoys me. My GT-S is a Non GT car. Why? Because it isn't slow?

Anyway, can finally fit all the E-Motion stuff now.



Better bearings

Non gt

MotorSport LCA
