My co driver and I both like my strano bar and koni ds setup with re71 tires. He drove another locals brz with konis whiteline bar and re71 and said it was horrible and pushed no matter what he did. Might have some to do with alignment as well. |

With the bigger whiteline it probably gains a bit in transitions over the strano, improving one of the big weaknesses of a DS car (soft springs) but it requires patient smooth turn-in to not create a glaring weakness. Hence why I said it comes down to style earlier. Someone super smooth on entry who wants a car that can be quick on transitions probably doesn't like the Strano bar as it's too stock-like. The eibach bars are pretty stiff (25mm tube vs. strano 22mm tube) so it'll be interesting to see where people end up and if they're allowed one aftermarket bar like the rest of street class (I hope so...) |

Removed the bar yesterday, put stock back on, no more clunks. Gonna sell the Strano bar, do the last 3 events of the season on stock, and either put on a new FSB next year or go SSC. I really wish the Strano bar didn't have fitment issues, because it performs very well. It just makes daily driving almost intolerable.

Did the other BRZ have the 20mm or 22mm WL bar?

Brz was on the 22mm whiteline. We both have the whiteline endlinks as well.
On another note I had trouble with my endlinks constantly coming loose with my strano bar so I ended up putting lock washers on to keep them tight. It also took a few tries to get it adjusted to not clunk every bump. |

really excited to see this concept migrate over from road racing
really excited to see a newer and inexpensive car selected for it Have a '13 FRS being freebie transferred to a CarMax near me to test fit kiddo seat, see how it is, etc. If it'll work I'll be shopping in earnest and submitting an order to TireRack for the suspension kit the next day.

Anyone know if the SUR4G is dailyable? Seems like it'll be the Spec tire. And do they run wide?

Took my Strano bar off and put stock back on, clunk is almost completely gone. It will happen still at full lock over large bumps, but it's much quieter. I'm guessing the nuts likely just need to be tightened a little.
Now the debate of whether I'll be running SSC Eibach bars next year, or staying in DS and going with a different FSB...

I've really only heard of there being issues with the Strano bar. It's a shame, because I liked the way the car felt with it. But being primarily a DD, the clunk was unbearable.

Where did you hear this? The sample car was on Hankook RS4s. I have heard the Nexen is good but very loud on the street. |

Everyone thinks it will be the SUR4G because price but it will most likely come down to availability and who gives tire rack the beast deal. The RS4 may have been chosen due to Chris Harvey's like of the tire. I'm not sure he still feels the same about it as he did during the tire rack test but when we talked to him he seemed to really like the RS4.
