Replaced the endlinks, and dropped off Goodyear SC3R tires for mounting; getting ready for Saturday event!
Passenger and driver side (in respective order). The track layout was clockwise, and you can clearly see more damage on the driver side during sharp (high compression) turns.
OEM end links are 245mm long from bolt center to center.
Eventually settled at 220mm length for endlinks that let me clear the LCAs.
At full droop, with steering at max left (passenger side). This is as close as it gets. I'm not sure what happens when it's not at full droop, and we'll see very soon : P I could never have the steering fully turned during at the track anyway, so I should have more clearance.
At full droop, with steering at max right (passenger side). From this to full left, the endlink never got close to the shock body, or showed any sign of binding. That said, I'm not sure of the geometry under compression.
SC3Rs on the left (not mounted), and Hoosier A7s on the right (on 17"x9" wheels); both 245/40/17. As you can see, there's not much of a difference in total width, and 9" wide wheel seems to neither pinch, nor stretch the Hoosiers...
