Sorry to necro this thread, but this is one of the first 3 threads that come up when searching for a rear tower brace that gives more leg room. Plus, 6 months isn't that bad of a necro and a lot of these points need addressing. Thousands don't make it right. Pulling on a bar in the middle of...

As long as they aren't bound up, aren't about to strip, and go on/off without effort, I'd send it. I really wish we had an option to go to a bladed ARB for these cars. I guess it'll be another thing that I add to the list of things that I tell myself I'm going to fab and never get around to.

This is the way. To be more thorough, attaching the sway bar should be the very last step in setup. Flat surface, tire pressure set, geo set (not possible on these cars), weight set (you or sandbags of your weight, fuel, etc.), ride height, corner balance, alignment, anti-roll bar. You...

I'm not asking for specs, I'm asking because I'm the chassis and suspension guy on every forum I end up on and it seems like I write one for all of them. I'll write one if need be. Also, I think you meant to reply to OP.

Do we not have a how to thread for alignment? If this was a Camry forum then I'd say it's one thing not to have one. I just feel like this forum should.

We'll have to get together and grab a beer sometime. I'm always looking for car people, especially if you're up for getting on track.

Just chilling up here in Ashland. Anybody closeby?

FWIW, I have built trophy trucks and trophy buggies that have raced as much as an entire season with exposed FK Rod Ends. I have a strong suspicion that something else is at play with SPL aside from the rod ends. My guess is the top hats. Slightly oversized top hats will murder rod ends in under...

Would any of you be interested in the process for designing and fabbing a front and rear strut tower brace?

Penske is one of the top shock manufacturers. As with any damper, go for durability and features, then work for a good tune. I've dealt with them quite a bit. Ohlins is a hair better when you have to talk to them 2-3 times a week and start sorting minor inconveniences, but the difference is...

Yep yep. I was with RLL in 2023. I was the lead fabricator and mechanic. Best shop in racing as far as I'm concerned (outside of F1 of course). I live in Ashland now.I make it down to Columbus probably 1-2 times a month.What part of Florida? I'm from Alabama originally.

Do we need to dive into developing a top mount header? I sure af don't mind spilling the beans lol. Map the flanges out in CAD (FreeCAD and a quick 2D tutorial can have you spitting files out in a few hours), have them laser cut, measure for a jig, do a lil math, buy the tube and the 90s, then...

Man... The 25 (and test #23) was the car I was on with RLL. I miss it like you can't imagine.

I've been doing motorsports fab for quite a while now. My background is in IMSA GTP (BMW Team RLL), NASCAR, SCORE, INDY, as well as specialty welding, pipe welding, and pipefitting. This thread is basically just a place where I can come to contribute what I know about motorsports fab. I'd like...

100% happy to necro this thread. Anyone going to any IMSA races this year? I'll probably be at Indy and Road Atlanta if anyone wants to meet up. I try to hit Sebring every year.

First post here but I may be able to lend a little info. There are 2 schools of thought at the top level of racing when it comes to the longevity of spherical joints. Open uses the teflon liners to scrape all the trash away. This is proven effective so long as the joint doesn't get used to the...
