We spent a long time trying to develop our own endlink, and purchased all the current ones on the market as part of our work. When we got these in house and starting playing with the, we decided it was not worth pursuing our own design, as these did everything we wanted.

How do you go about adjusting those endlinks to your set-up? Id like to add some Hotchkis sways and possibly those endlinks to my set-up...

If anyone is aware of discussion's on SCCAforums about staggered bar settings can you post a link to the thread(s). Not something I have the least desire to do knowing what going on in application, but would be interesting to see what the folks their might have said.

Full stiff , WOW. You must be running some huge slicks front and back to need that? I run with mine on hole 2 in the front and hole 1 in the rear with 255 front and 275 Falken 615's. That setup works great for daily driving too.

No, no slicks. Just dialed to my likings. I like a stiff ride. Nobody can really tell you what your ideal settings should be set at. This setup feels great to me. But I really don't have it to full stiffness right now. I did though. I have staggered the setup in the rear to give it a little less percentage of stiffness in the rear. Feels great IMO. That's really what this thread was about. But I plan to do a lot more searching about proper setups.

Actually lap times are a great tool to use for setup along with feel.

*update*

I dug out the old "G-Timer" and did a little testing at my favorite spot....


1.01 G's when turning to the left and 1.03 G's when turning to the right. Those are the max readings. They varied around .97-1.0 in both directions.
