IMSA front suspension


Recommended Posts

Hey,

So I was looking at the adjustable tie rod ends that Zccjdm sells and noticed a picture of some crazy front suspension with a giant arm going off to what I assumed to be a sway bar. Poked my hear around on the google machine and came up with the set of pictures of this car, found here: http://www.canepa.com/inventory/racecar_1/Datsun_240Z/index.html Anyways noticed some crazy stuff going on (the oil pan looks to have a ton of volume, and the plate that the rear LCA's mount to is very cool). But most staggering to me was the front sway bar, how big it is, and the fact that it runs through the frame rails like that.

Was just curious to learn about it really. What size is it? It looks to be around 50mm or so, but most likely hollow? Why such a big sway bar? I know the IMSA cars were very quick and very successful. What other tricks did they use?
