That seems odd...I am running the Spec Focus FRPP suspension set-up and don't get any rub at all, on road or track. I am using both the 6 spoke SVT wheels and the 15 spoke EAP/SVT wheels, both with standard size 215/45-17's. Am I just lucky or is it something else folks?

^^ don't you guys have different sway bars? maybe that could be the difference.

btw oops I totally didn't even notice......that's right, my wheels are 15"s so i'm probably good (on stock size)

Hmmm...my front sway bar is stock SVT, rear is Eibach 25mm, so the back is super stiff. Also, I've got K-Mac camber/caster plates in front, with front camber at more than -2 degrees, so the tops of the tires are tucked in a bit...maybe that accounts for lack of rub?

Mike, you'd be plenty fine!

that might be it.
i've got stock 19mm front (svt waiting to go in) and zts adjustable rsb set at 23mm

what kind of places roll them for you? just plain old body shops?

honestly after my first event, it doesn't really matter what class you are in at first. cause you won't even come close to #1 as you can tell in my class lol. just go out and race and learn. that's what i'm doing. i talked to this older guy that raced a stang gt and he helped A LOT. i walked the course with him and he explained it in RWD and FWD it was awesome for sure. i talked with him all day.
come out and have fun with me! even if you don't have fun (which is impossible.) you'll get to check out some sick cars!

You can learn alot about car control on the rain, makes for a bad time cone picking, but the education is worth it. I'd say a third of last years events were wet up here.
