Can anyone confirm the following two issues.
1) is there a front anti roll / sway bar?
2) can the caster be adjusted?

those points still stand but if you want a good sway bar kit for the GTM the guys at QRP sells them: http://www.quickracingproducts.com/html/gtm_parts.html

Gen1: adjustable to ~3 degrees
Gen2: Adjustable to ~7 degrees

For the anti-sway bar.

Ted (http://www.quickracingproducts.com/html/gtm_parts.html) sells a kit.
Some builders create it form a universal type kit.
Some builders (self included) use the Donor Anti-sway bar. Front and Rear.

It's important to note that you will have to sacrafice those max caster numbers to get decent camber numbers for track use. The amount of camber increases with lower ride height as well. I relocated my upper A-arm mounts 1/2" aft and inboard 1/4" and can get the following specs:

Camber- -1.0 degrees
Caster- 6.5 degrees

Or

Camber- -2.6 degrees
Caster- 4.0 degrees

There is an in-depth discusion about track front suspension here:

I also have the QRP sway bar, it's a very nice piece.


Crash's alignment slugs are a must have as well.
