Here are a few pictures I took. I was only there on Sunday in the afternoon, for a few hours, and these were taken with my cellphone, so bear with me.

Clicking on the pictures will take you to the flickr page, which has the full size images if you want to see all the up close blurriness.

Here is my last one, since apparently we can only do 15 pictures at a time.

Cool pictures, although I find the lack of subaru pics a little disturbing?

if your car is a she why is it lifting its leg? you may want to look a little closer :eek: next time its up on the rack

That's why I was so perplexed! :huh:

That's why I was so perplexed! :huh:Not unusual at all. Note the positive outside front camber as well. Stupid Subaru front geometry...

That is actually a great picture from an analysis perspective.

You might try softening the rear bar a notch if you want to see if it will stay down, but the picture clearly shows that you have to keep the front end flatter to really improve things. Higher spring rates, or a stiffer front bar.

I was joking about being perplexed... regarding the car being a "she". Typically, my car rotates before it generates enough grip to lift like in that picture. It was so warm on the weekend, and that thing was making RIDICULOUS grip! I kept pushing harder, and it kept holding!

It may actually be the driver that is generating more grip and less rotation. As you get smoother on the inputs the suspension and tires are never shocked into breaking traction. I have seen you lift tires before, but only briefly. That looks like it was likely a smooth fully loaded lift. If you never felt it lift or set down, it likely was.

I know you really like your suspension setup and how the car handles, but as a driver, you may be starting to find its limitations.

I am just suggesting that it might be time to consider what changes might make sense moving forward. A larger front sway given the front geometry, might make a big difference without changing the feel you like too much.

Indeed! I'm still on the stock FSB, with upgraded links and mounts, but I've definitely been considering upgrading the bar itself lately. ;) I don't feel myself like I'm reaching the car's limits, but it sure is nice to hear!

Tribeca FSB, FTW! Not that I'm particularly interested in making Cory faster, though. ;)
