Is the 1 3/8 sway bar for sale yet? Just looking on QA1's web site and maybe I missed it?




I do not believe these are currently available to the public. If you are interested in one, I can see what I can do.

I think I am going to go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these K-members.

If I do, I will document the install. I plan on doing a steering box upgrade at the same time.

Borgeson box arrived last week along with QA1 tubular LCA's. I'm going to use fast ratio idler and pitman, we will see how that goes. My stock length idler and pitman are not worn so I can swap back if it's too "fast"

I bought a set of fast ratio pitman and idler with roller bearing upgrade with the borgeson box, hoping to have it driving this summer

We survived the weekend. Officially it says we ended up 16th in the autocross, 17th in the speed stop and 7th in the design challenge. For a 15th overall finish. Not sure about road course yet. There were roughly 65 cars competing.

All in all, car was fast. We were only older Mopar minus the LS powered Challenger. New front end felt great. We are now faster then our Viper brake package can handle.... So if anyone is interested in a complete front set up, let me know. Very fresh.

Is that 65 across all the classes, or the 3,000 lb and up that the Charger would be in?

I never did see an entry list to see a total car count for the weekend. Curious if it met their attendance goal.

There were 3 or 4 AWD and 3 or 4 under 3k lb cars. That car count was a rough number as I saw them hand out a 060 car number. They except 100 total. I don't think they got to the goal.

We were just happy to get a good finish out of it.
They had a total of 882 runs between the autocross and stop challenge. The hot lap session on the the big track had attotal of around 1800 laps. Moneys worth.

Jealous, running Laguna Seca would be a bucket list deal for me. Really need to get my car back together.


Mopar to the bone!!!

It was definitely an adventure which included driving down from Seattle (trailer of course).

After that many runs you really have to have your car prepared. We did not have any issues except wrestling the toe moving on us a bit. That track is brutal on brakes and your bravery! We are going to run Portland and most likely retire the car. I would like to build something that I won't feel as bad beating up on!
