Rules question- Protege suspension mod

[Aged racer]

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.

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.
