I will tell you running the short drop links with the GT3 bar, decreases the effectiveness of the bar in corner. As you input more steering wheel, it UNLOADS the outside tire in the corner

He was at our shop late last week test fitting some new parts I don't have to ask for permission

The stock ones won't work either.. all the aftermarket links are based on these!!

Run the LSD with one link removed and zip tied up to the toe link (they move at the same rate) and test the car without the rear bar. LSD's inherently induce understeer that has to be dialed out. I leave the nut on the floating drop link and run the car for a session with the bar disconnected, then quickly reconnect it for the next session for side by side comparison.


The rear links being sold are a compromise.

Interesting, so you recommend actually downgrading the rear if the car has an LSD?
