I went with a softer front bar because I was concerned about the diff-assist that kicks in when you unload the inside tire in a turn. (With the long-press method) I never tested a stiffer rear bar...

I hope the 17+ 86's will close some of the gap with wider wheels and lower gearing, but the ND is a lighter and more nimble starting point.

I was very happy with the ST front bar on soft (And the TRD bar on the rear). It felt "just" right for me. I would go with that same bar set up again.

When I ran the TRD springs and sways, the car understeered. I ended up using the TRD rear bar and an ST front bar on the soft setting.

I don't remember the actual percentages, but I do remember that the front bar increases stiffness considerably more than the rear bar.

Thanks! I'm running OTS Koni singles that I think are a bit under-damped for the TRD springs, but it's otherwise fully prepped.

I brought the 1.5's and the RE71's to Dixie and got the same time on test and tune with both tires. When I saw that we were running first heat in the cold, the Bridgstones were an easy choice.

BFG's contingency is a little better than Bridgestone for the Tours, but am still not sure which tire I'm running at Dixie. I prefer the feel of the RE71's compared to the BFG's.

The plan is to stay in CS. If I consider DS, it will probably be as a tire-warmer.

I knew someone would say that when I decided to run them.

[This space reserved for Rodney Dangerfield meme]

BFG offered contingency for the Pro. Bridgestone didn't.

I don't think I can call it "staying" since I just got the car and prepped it, but I'm going to at least charge windmills in CS at Dixie.

At first I thought splitting the twins was silly, but maybe that's simpler than splitting a single car by option package. (TRD)

Dave put ~ a second or more *per day* on everyone driving the same car as him. (an even larger gap than last year)

I would say whatever he did to, and with, his twin worked very well.
