Chem, the next event for ALSCCA is Sunday. There is a TVR (Hintsville guys) on Saturday that a lot of our guys are attending. It's a North v. South thing that we started last year.
Charon, I've considered the RCK, but I don't think I really need it. The ride height hadn't changed much in the front with the camber plates making up some of the difference. Also, my car is actually prepped for BSP, and the roll center kits are not legal for that class. I just run SM locally for competition as not many people run BSP.

I saw that event after looking on the ALSCCA website. Unfortunately I'm going back to the house this weekend in Tennessee. The RCK is also what bumped me from BSP to SM.

TouringBubble, can you please update us on how your suspension is doing and comment on the wear of your tires with your alignment setup? I know you drive the car daily and that's why I was curious as to how everything was working out.
I'm currently running the GTWorx springs on my OEM MR Bilsteins and love them. I was fortunate to come upon this thread because this is pretty much the exact same setup I've wanted to finally end up with.
GTWorx Springs, Whiteline 26mmF/24mmR, Camber Plates, Perrin Stout Mounts, with the addition of the Perrin PSRS and some bushings as well.
Thanks!

A question on the Whiteline bars.
What made you choose to go with the 24mm rear bar with the 26mm unit as opposed to the 22mm rear Whiteline bar?
The reason I ask is I am looking for a front and rear bar that offers a similar proportional increase to the OEM units. I've been in contact to Whiteline and was told the 22mm rear is most "balanced" compared to the 26mm front and both offer a similar % increase in stiffness over their respective OEM counterparts.

The bigger rear bar gives you a little more front grip (they don't just take away rear grip).
Also keep in mind the 24mm rear on "soft" is roughly a 22mm. It gives you good adjustment over the balance of the car....works well on street, track, and auto-x.
I do think anything over 25mm is too big though.

We use the 26mm front and 24mm rear bar because we are not trying to have a proportional increase to stock.

I am guessing the Whiteline 22mm rear bar is stiffer than the OEM 22mm rear bar? And that the 26mm bar increases the front stiffness the same amount as the 22mm bar does to the rear?

Tough to say exactly how the 22mm WL bar compares to stock without taking measurements, but it is 3 position adjustable. Generally WL has the middle setting be similar to a solid bar of the given diameter, but there is always some wiggle room with that.
I know the full Gerrard set-up is very good. What are the softer rates you're going with?

I am really excited to get this set-up on
