I'm currently using the 3R xi-sport 3 dot sway bar in the rear, was hoping I could find the equivalent 4 dot for the front. I'm assuming the 3 dot is a 1.3mm. From my testing and findings, these cars definitely want the stiffer sway bars on black carpet. I have been fighting traction rolling for weeks, once I went to the stiffer sway bar in the rear it calmed the car down tremendously, just a tad bit tippy initially and wanted to test a stiffer sway bar up front. I've got some more coming in from RaceVTA.com but given that they're for an older car I hope they work and 3R is still making them. I will say we do have a very punishing layout at Apex right now and my car has felt as good as it ever has, it just needs a tiny bit more stability and I'll be able to push the car for all she's got.


PS: EA is selling Protoform VTA tires at wholesale price, get them while there's any left. $15 a pair.

Kit Green front and yellow rear springs. I am surprised that EA doesn't have those bars on hand. He's slipping. Lol

I was told by a very good racer, never have more top shims than bottom.

I have krazed build graphite chassis aluminum hubs with 8mm ball stud using spacer from kit.

built everything like manual says. Front shocks mounted no problem just rear shocks are driving me crazy by not mounting like they are supposed to.
