The car is very snappy.
i drove at last event with .25 deg toe out in front and adjusted rake as well - that was snappy. reduced it to .10 deg toe out now.

you may not need to drop rear camber at all, just get front to -3.0 with NT01 and watch uniformity of tires temperature and wear signs on fresh tires after first sessions, you will see on new tires right away where you hit them most.

Dingbat alert. Went and checked my bar more closely. There is some black tape covering the middle hole. Live and learn.

I am afraid something will leak out if I do that! Also may affect the handling adversely. You probably took yours off and that's why you don't like it!

that tape is like the little plastic cover they put over the "red button" that launches a missle, or the pin in a grenade, remove it only if you are ready!

So did you throw caution to the wind and pull the magic tape off the middle hole?

Yes I did but then I stuck it back on before anything bad happened. Hope I was in time!

It leaks unobtanium if you leave it off too long.

I only make fun of him because I did the same thing. I don't know how they do it, but the damn tape is almost imperceptible. I thought they sent me the wrong bar too

Funny stuff...I'm laughing with you guys not at ya. Lucky for me Orbit made my bars and set them.....full soft front and full stuff rear....I haven't changed them. Since I don't know if they are stiffer than GT3 bars I just left them alone.

I swear somebody snuck in drilled new holes and then put tape over them. Hope they did not let the unobtanium leak out.

For those that want it, I negotiated a Rennlist price of $310 including the bushings. Pretty sweet deal. Make sure you ask for Ric or Phil. That's a pretty good deal.

Who's better than me?
Wow, I just paid $348 plus shipping.
