I usually put 18psi in the car for road use or 20psi for light
competition- no roll cage so I can't do any heavy stuff!

Dave Rutherford in the UK can sell you a panhard rod or full watts

use (and "light" competition), the extra location just seems like excess
weight to me. Then again, I cannot spin my wheels in the first three
