Can you run the triple x sway bar in a stock suspension set up? My cars pretty out of the box... And so far I had the triple x sway bar, the harness bar, and also the strut bars... Any info I should be aware of.

I dont do strut bars as the towers are welded into the firewall not sitting in the middle of nowhere like a Beemer....i would suggest YYZ springs with an XXX bar for track work along with T CABS, you will need snap in lap belts and seats with belt ports for a harness bar if you are heading for le Circuit....reply later, off to NY

Hey John, have a spacer question!

Want a little more poke for my ss/tc on stock rims. I've read all the threads on spacers, but I'm about to install your v.3 yyz spring so want your approval haha. Tires are 235/40/18

I'm thinking 3-5 mm spacer up front with stock studs

Arp extended studs in the rear with 8-15mm hub centric spacer

Would you anticipate any rubbing issues doing this? Can you do thicker spacers?

you dont need spacers for that size tires unless you want them. V3's don't sit as low as say sportlines do, and they are alot better.

Jeff Gordon is one of the best I have ever trained with; smart, sensitive, intellectual, dedicated, fast.
and a regular guy.

so yes.
Got the chance to hang out with him ( Jeff) for a day just after he and Brooke were divorced. Couldn't believe how busy he was. Really nice guy who never came off as being better or richer than you. Had a great time.

To your first post, yeah the 235's fill it out more but also run 225's on another set. Just want it filled out a little more overall.

Didn't Jeff Gordon divorce his wife 2 weeks before their 10 yr anniversary. I thought that was hilarious, something about the money is split even at 10 years? Jeff Gordon is the man, only reason I was interested in Nascar for awhile

You should be looking more or less 20-25mm in the front and 15-20mm in rear for a "flush" Regardless at that point you will be rubbing with those tires and yyz I bet.

Powergrid, Inc. ask for chip tell him i sent you, If you are in canada i carry these in stock.

alternatively, the Moog drop link is cheap and very robust, a little agricultural compared to the powergrid but if you dont want adjustability and are concerned about bux, go mooog

Yes, that is the proper part number for the FE5 suspension.

I've been running Moog endlinks for 3 years now.

Just an fyi, paint them if you don't want them to develop surface rust.
