    The question is often if a driver acquired the new CR-S or the CR-S V2 ( version 2 ) , as the I ran into some folks who got the tires only to discover they were on the original version. They do not heat up as fast as the RE71RSs or the A052s ...

    If that's a Whiteline Watts linkage set up you have on it you should inspect the bell crank part on the diff. Not sure if that's the correct description. Its the part the two rods connect to on the diff cover, some call it a propeller. Anyway...

    IIRC, the Whiteline Watts link that Grassroots Motorsports used on their CAM Mustang autocros car also broke at the bellcrank / propeller. There really ought to be another bellcrank plate on the outside, so the pivot and arm bolts are in double...

    For a daily driver/autocross Vorshlag recommended 450/175 spring rates for me. I've thrown everything Vorshlag offers at the car besides MCS coilovers so far. (see full post)
