Also, if you're keeping score at home, I'm back to stock sway bars, running no aero, and the OS Giken LSD is only 1 point.

Basically, I need. More. Power.

Prodrives looking 100. Couldn't have looked any better than they do.

Taking a serious look at NASA TT for me too in 2018.

Good info on the Maxxis contingency stuff.

Good luck.

Thanks David! I'm running 13 kg/mm in the front, and 11 kg/mm in the rear.

Thanks man, NASA is great for me because they run at three different tracks within two hours of my house, and I might be able to win some shit.

Man, every time I see a picture of your car I get crazy ideas like ditching my hardtop or switching to an AP1 front end. So clean looking

AP1 front end is the proper front end.

On another note, Flowers, glad to see you on the KW. Idk why people go for the Ohlins when with the KW's you can adjust the bump. I've never had suspension where this is adjustable and after playing around with it today on our local touge for hours on end, how could one not get the CS or V3 over the Ohlins? It's a drive changing experience - maybe not for the track, but for the local B road / touge its brilliant

The ability to adjust low speed compression is great man. I'm really, really glad I got the KWs. I liked the ohlins, but I must say I'm really pleasantly surprised at how nicely the KWs handle broken pavement. That was always going to be my number one reservation when it came to these shocks, and I'm blown away by how good a job they do on the street.
