Interesting ... let me know how that works out for you!

Many of the scruts are mechanics and would most definitely know the difference between stock and non-stock.

Is there any grey area in this rule concerning Evo uprights?

A. Suspension pick-up points must remain as stock in location and type.

Wonder if this would be a valid argument since the only difference in the EVO uprights is the location and orientation of the toe link mounting, outboard.

I dont think there is much grey area here.... its pretty well spelled out...

2. Add to Stock class rules: “Spacers to adjust the height of the steering rack and pinion are allowed.” This is allowed, but not currently published.
3. Add to Prepared class rules: “Spacers to adjust the height of the tie rod end at the steering arm are allowed.”

But from all that I can tell (I have to admit i have not had the two side by side), Chris is right, unless you have a mesuring tape or find the part number, it would be a very keen eye to tell the difference. Anyone have them side by side??? would like to see how they compare.

chris walrod

If you have a keen eye and looking for it, they are easily noticed -- the tie rod mounts from the bottom up whereas the std the other way around. Other than that, I would be difficult to see. Then again, nice new castings vs. cosmoline everywhere else might be a tip-off as well.

"the tie rod mounts from the bottom up"..... ah.... good point.....

Bill Verburg

EVO uprights are going to be high on any scrut's list the difference is obvious
Stock & RS/EVO uprights

Bill... Wow.. that was quick... Thanks!

But back to the subject at hand.... So Harvey, when are you taking me for a ride.... I think you need an objective opinion.... ;-)

Bill, those are 964 uprights at the top of your photo, right?

Bill Verburg
