Swapped rear springs and sway bar. Now running 200 lbs coil overs and a Strano adjustable sway bar on soft. Going on a trip with the wife, need softer ride without giving up the cornering. It has a very good balance. I might even keep it. who knows, I sure don't.

Looks like my 22mm rear bar and my Cortex version 1 watts link want to occupy the same space. Going to put the 18mm back on and raise the watts one inch instead.

That's definitely close quarters!!!!!
Yeah, funny thing is I had that bar on there before and it was close but didn't rub.
Something changed and I think I know what it was....
 
Unloaded off the trailer. Thanks so much to all TMO members at Chuckwalla. It made the track day so much better. Special thanks to @Grant 302 since he let me use his spare set of Wheels and tires when I destroyed mine. It would have ended my day, but got going again and finished the whole day. I blistered one and exploded another. Look at the pictures, it was insane. BTW, don't use old tires. This is the result!!!!!

OEM Battery went Kaput! Went looking around for a Motorcraft replacement, BXT96R-500 or the 590 but they seem to be scarce locally although I did find some online. Contemplating the Braille 3121 set-up with a mounting box. I assume if I go this route I no longer need the OEM battery tray?

Starting to be concerned about the one in the FakeR too. Took a while to top-off in this last round of track prep. I've seen installations both ways with mounting frames, but I think you'd take it out with a box installed.
