I'm a little fuzzy how to interpret IT rules on whether I can swap a stock rear suspension link for the one in the picture below. Car is an ITB Protege.

Appreciate y'all's opinion:

Steve,

What part of the rule are you fuzzy on? Drop a quote on us that makes you think you can swap them.
 
Probably no, unfortunately. You can add traction bars and sway bars, but swapping out a stock link is usually a no no unless the replacement is an aftermarket equivalent, same in the manner set forht in the GCR.
 
It's this portion of the wording:
Suspension Control​
1. Any anti‑roll bar(s), traction bar(s), panhard rod or watts
linkage may be added, removed, or substituted, provided​
its/their installation serves no other purpose.


Fuzzy is probably the wrong word, at least as regards the rulebook. It's more me not understanding suspension nomenclature. Jeff set me straight- this piece replaces a stock link, not one of the allowed pieces.

Just wanted to be sure, would rather ask up front.

thks- Steve
 
Is this going to be a MARRS or SARRC B car !?!?! :eclipsee_steering: From what I saw at the ARRC last year the Protege is a very strong platform for ITB.
 
Primarily SARRC. Ran most this year, working on refining the car some.

Les- sent you an email!
