got isport cf roof spoiler on today
Broke my 4th sway bar clamp bracket on Saturdays team event and stayed up until 2am to modify a energy suspension bracket and bushing to fit my AWR bar with blocks. Then woke up at 6am to raced at our 6th event for NWOR SCCA. Good times like always!

Before the fabricating.

I need to do some more work to them, but they are 100% better than the stock and AWR setup. It took close to 3 and 1/2 hours to figure it out because the nuts on the inside of the cross member aren't connected and I had to fit it 3 differnt times. I need to work on the bushing a little more because the bushings that are in the energy suspension packet are massive compared to the little dinky things you get from SU or AWR. I need to inset the bar stops for the bushing into the bushing itself. Hopefully I can take some pics this weekend when I take it apart again. I just had to do a quick fix (3.5hrs) so I could runher the next morning. Pics and info will be up for sure this weekend. Plus the brackets are fitted with grease nipples so you don't have to take it all apart to lube it up again.

How much camber is he running, do you know? Does he have to worry about rubbing when going over decent sized bumps? I normally would look at the users post to try and figure this out myself but I have no idea whos car that is.
i dont know about the camber, i guess whatever the natural camber is with the lowering springs. i wanna say it doesn't rub over speed bumps, but it might a little over big dips on the highway.. i havent been in the car on rpfs
yep it is

I have those energy suspension bushings on my AWR rear bar and they work great. We just made room for the collar in the side of the bushing and it fits great and the bar does not move at all side to side.

Thanks, the reason why im playing 50 q's on his setup because im looking for a good DD setup that doesn't rub and still promotes good tire wear. Not to mention im also on s-techs.
