T1 bars are mandated by a series, not necessarily best for your application. I know, they have been race tested..................
I have been testing some Pfadt bars on my roadcourse car , and have been very happy with them . I am using the "pfadty" front bar instead of their standard front and works very well with my cars set-up (really fast). Always good to not be stuck with a given set-up, if elements change immediately, you are at a new venue, or just feel like provoking a change. Additionally as you have seen, Aaron's components are very high quality.
I am satisfied with them , even with the extra cost .................

Thanx for the quick replies...I'm looking forward to his new bushing option...we use he same quality aluminum on our ladders for our fire trucks! I like to have options and of course the weight loss.

I sat with Erin, his wife, Mom and Dad at the dinner Saturday night at Spring Mountain and went through it all with him.

Once he gets his new shipment I am on line for the sways and coil overs for my c6 Z51. I rode in his and loved the way the car felt. Low to the ground, independent responsive feel and even though she was low, the shocks had full travel which was a smooth, responsive ride. Not jarring or wild.

BTW, sorry I didnt get a chance to meet you, I was hanging out near Ole's spot. I have seen your car at Seans and that suckah is gonna be very nice.

Congrats.

I now (too some degree) understand "itchy"

My first time on the track and I am going insane. Ole spent some time with me and went around the track with a lead follow/follow lead setup on our second day out with less folks on the track.

I learned tons of info from that. For example, when they wave a black flag at both of you, it means "YOUR HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN !!!!"

Hey LAPI:

I really liked you old Avatar picture of your license plate that says "WIFE MAD."

However, your new one is even better now that you are a deflowered track veteran!!!

Well, I figured either "keep her mad" or keep her happy.

Happy goes along way for future mods and tires.

Default Weight of the Pfadt setup?

Anybody know how much lighter it is, or how much the T1 setup weighs?
I have the T1 setup now.

Joel your getting anorexic with the car T-1 is hollow so I doubt weight difference would be significant.

I've never had it off the car, but thought it was a solid bar...???

A couple of lbs here, a few more there, and I won't have to diet to go
deeper into the turns.

But you get what you pay for. You could get an old water pipe and a couple of Vice-grips instead and save some money!
