I got an email the other day saving my silverstone track day has been cancelled
![]() So my June track day at Silverstone is now at Brands hatch indy. It will be around 2 and half hours to get there so not awful. I might try to in squeeze another mondello track day now. Speaking of here are some photos from the last track day ![]()

Just a small update I received my oil analysis from Blackstone labs and it seems fine. Will continue to run this oil and do another UOA after brands hatch.
https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/th.../#post-6486103 I wasn't planning on doing another track day at Mondello before Brands hatch but ended up signing up for the March 31 event. I am not sure they will get enough drivers so it might get cancelled. The goal is at least a 2:09.X but I'm hopeful to get into the 2:08s if the weather is nice I also impulse bought some whiteline end links due to a 25% off sale(242euro shipped) to be used when I order coilovers after my brands hatch trip. Thinking either RCE SS2s or Shaftwork USA.

Yeah, the problem with the bigger endlinks is that they contact the bottom of the strut when turning. The SPL is much thinner but there is the slightest bit of contact to the Shaftworks in some situations.

it looks miles away in pictures but I guess in practice it's much closer. I saw you had to do a bit of grinding.

Nordlok washers on the end link nuts on the strut side have stopped that joint loosening up on me.
Strut attached swaybars suck.

@RedReplicant You still had rubbing after you swapped the racer X endlinks out for the SPL endlinks ?
Oh what are you using to make the red marks ? I would like to do the same !

Yeah, it seems like end link stuff is much more complicated than it first appears with these cars... which goes back to DocWalt's comment, haha.

Interesting, I have no contact with my Karcepts end links (with matching swaybar) so I guess the way Karcepts positioned the swaybar arms avoids the contacts.
