Driving posture...
#12
No, it pulls to the right just cruising along... I read something about "typical IRL pull" but I haven't found a cause... My rear alignment is actually off though... Left wheel toed in just a little more than allowed... Not noticeable at first glance, but measurable... If the car doesn't go on an alignment rack at tech inspection and the instructor doesn't drive it, I will be fine...
I wonder if a DOT motorcycle helmet will suffice?

way doubtful on the moto helmet.
The SC2s have a factory anti sway bar; it's a little on the wussy side yet it keeps the back end of the car where it should be.
Show me someone who measured the difference in lateral displacement at the top of the shock tower from center line, both with and without a decent strut bar, and Ill maybe consider one. Get the concept. S cars are mighty stiff, so I never saw the need for one. If you're racing, sure --but then you're not buying one of ebay either
I have coils over my struts right now What is the difference in design?
White car -1 trailing arm/need to redo shifter bushing NOT with the 5 year old tubes of JB weld (can ya believe it wasn't fully cured?)/radiator drain n refill/new reservoir/new water pump/valve cover gasket/possible valve guides/seals/misses at idle/needs alignment = FAIL at inspection
Black car - front end shimmy at 62 and above not tire balance related --need to check for out of round. May be due to being out of alignment (which it is)/replace R LCA (geometry is different on each side of car, making this nearly impossible to align)/muffler about to go
Oh, and I gave up on stock T rated tires and went to the S so now the car dowsn't handle as well but hurts my *** less

Umm...you could track your Escape, lol... Just kidding... I am shooting for their Oct. FATT event, even if your S cars weren't track ready by then, you could meet me and tag along and spectate...

Okay, I looked up the Helmets... It turns out that M2000 is actually a motorcycle rating... There's a dusty helmet sitting around at work that hasn't been worn since before I was there, I'll check it out and if it's good enough I'll snag it...
