So I have the Dinan bar setup like the instructions suggest, with the bottom link joints on the inside of the bar. However I can't get it to the stiffest hole without loosening (maybe even removing) the bar mounts to slide it side to side to get clearance to get the links in. This a bit painful as it means you have to take off the whole felt cover thing to get in/out of that stiffest hole. Do some of you have the links on the outside like the stock ones? Just wondering if that works ok with clearance to things and having enough range of movement etc
Thanks! Last edited by z06fun; 08-03-2019 at 10:49 AM.. |

Has anyone ever experienced problems from having tires with mismatched diameters on the front and rear ends of the car?

I’ve had 285/35 front and 275/35 rear on the car without issues (burning off old tires) that’s as far away from the stock diameter stagger of .6” bigger in back that I have gone. No issues meaning the car still worked fine with dsc off. Dsc intervened earlier when on, I assume because wheelspeed difference got into the intervention window faster

Yes right you could do that if you remove the top end of the link from the strut. I was trying to move just the lower ends to enable quick changing between runs though. The bar ends are angled out, not parallel to the frame like they could be. So the stiffest hole is closer to the frame vs the other 2. But I found that on mine, actually only 1 side is too tight on clearance for 3rd hole changing (small differences in the sway bar bends) and if I jack the car up a little on that side while its on the ramps, I can get the tight side in since everything moves a little lower and there is slightly more clearance. Then I can drop it back to normal height and get the other into the stiffest hole, then tighten them up. So now I can change it between runs fairly easily.

Mine can be adjusted by simply disconnecting the bottom of each endlink as well as I did it tonight.

Since this thread has kind of evolved into the autocross catch-all thread... Is there anyone out there driving an e92 in STU? I’m curious how the car is setup if it exists
I’m running into having to run in the class due to my bolt-on mods and am wondering if anyone else is out there in the same boat as me

Chris Mayfield has used his OLOA e92 as an STU car. AFAIK it's all simple bolt ons with engine and DCT tunes. I'd imagine if someone spent the time it could be made fairly competitive.

We talked at length...It’s a pretty simple formula and I’m close. He’s running 10.5 square with 285’s so I’m gonna need to add some camber plates or go full coilovers, and put them on the front. Tune, exhaust, and springs have already been upgraded on my car, so I’m thinking a pulley and sway bar along with the additional grip would have the car set.

His setup is available to read over in the laptimes thread if anybody else wants to steal it - the secret sauce is all in testing, testing, testing anyway - but at least it's a solid place to start from

I'm about to get tires and most likely will go for the standard 275/35/18 RE-71R, but I'm curious if anyone has tried Yokohama A052 or Goodyear Supercar3? The A052's don't come in that size, so you'd have to run either square 265/35/18, or try to fit a 295/30/18 in the rear?

Tire Rack test gave the crown to the A052, but it seems there is a lack of stock right now. I'm concerned about the sizing and have been happy with a square setup, so I think I'm going to go with 71R's

Maybe it would work. Maybe it wouldn’t. But I ran a 295/30-18 Hoosier on my AS/FS car on an 8.5 and hot pressure target was 38ish.
That was with a 315/30-18 rear. I know the conventional wisdom right now is the yokes want a lot of support and camber, but I don’t think anybody has tried 295 square yet or 295/30-18 front and 295/35-18 rear either Just sayin lots more depths to plumb with that tire and nats is too close to risk it for most people

width and how a tire mounts isn't really necessarily going to track in my experience cramming tires (sometimes the wider tire mounts easier because it's taller, or the sidewall doesn't resist movement in the direciton you need to move it for mounting as much), but The section width is 11.8"/tread 11.2? Which 315/30-18 is 11.8"? The rival is 12.6 just like the yoke in 315/30-18, with 11.7" tread width I'm just saying, it's doable, and they already make a tire that's a "better match" for the 295/30, it's the 295/30 up front with the 315 on the rear ;
It's only money! If somebody doesn't at least try it next year at a national level I'll eat my guacamole hat. If you FS people are not careful I'm going to go to dave's and put some on for spite

In days gone by, Hoosier A6s would snap onto a smaller wheel width in a heartbeat. Trying the same with the competitor at the time, the V710, was a nightmare, and often if you did get it squeezed onto the wheel, the carcass would be all contorted and messed up.
If the A052 has a soft sidewall, it might be better able to squeeze onto a wheel versus something like the Rival. All this reminds me of the late Jim Feinberg showing up at our local club autox in his Integra R with 275s up front (I think those were squeezed onto 6" wheels). It was sloppy on transients but it stuck good.

But prove me wrong and buy some 295/315's for your 8.5" fronts/9.5 rears and have Dave take a whirl. I'm am pretty certain he would have hated me if I had brought those for mounting. He did mount the BS 285/30-18 on my 9" fronts after using all his tricks and running 140 psi to get the bead to seat.
