T1 Bar initial setup help
Just installed the T1 bars with adjustable end links on a 2002 Z06 with Koni shocks and stock leafs lowered about 1" on stock bolts .... how do you guys set them up initially ?

ahh should have been more clear sorry ... only one hole in my rear bar was looking for initial setup with the end links ... is it neutral when car is on the ground ?? (no tension on bar when on ground?)

ok ... thanks thats what I thought ... worry that I do not have an adjustable rear bar now seems that most here have a rear bar that has additional holes

Make sure you lube the clamps & if you need to put spacers under the clamps so it can MOVE.
If you want to soften it, get rubber bushings, if you want to stiffen it poly/delrin/steel bearings.

Well yours is like mine on the middle hole I guess. Probably fine for track, a little stiff for autox.

Did not add any lube maybe I will look more into that tomorrow. Car is street trim car used for 10 or so HPDE events each year ... (driven to and from track and work couple times a month)

The single hole rear bar is fine for the track. I've got both the single and the 3 hole and guess what, for the track my setup is neutral in the middle. Make sure you do a good alignment and understand how each part can impact balance. Tire pressures and camber can balance out under/oversteer. Lots of T1 racers did quite well with a single hole bar.

I ended up having to shim the front and rear of my clamps to free up the bar some. I had some Pfadt lube leftover that I used. Mine is set in the middle on the rear. Never got brave enough to try different settings. May try that this year. Car is a pusher, but I am comfortable with that.
