OK. I will let you know Monday, after I am sure work is cleared. I doubt my car will be ready either, but that is fine.
If you are down off the mountain tomorrow, stop by.
Switch the coil overs today, gave the Apexi to my bro and installed my old Stance to the new ride. Man, it was like day and night difference in ride feel alone! The car does feel light and agile again.
No more undulating feel when hitting bumps and bouncing while going moderate speed on highway ramps.

I just signed up for the FATT, or at least I thought I did, the system they use is weird. I clicked on attend but it didn't do anything?
I am going to Alexandria in the AM, will you be around say 3-4 ish?

You will need to re-align the car now.

Yes. I'll be here all day, after I get home from church about 10:30.

If you changed the suspension, you don't have any spec. You may still have Camber but Toe could be out of whack.
As Rob has said, 2.5" ducting doesn't get crushed once you drive with awareness that full lock ain't desirable. It's never a good idea on track.
Mine was 2.5". Wheels were Volk CE28N's 17x9 +63 at all corners.
What folks have not noted is how a front wheel sits in the wheel well. A car with a lot of caster will not have the wheel sit squarely in the opening- it will be forward of center, thereby increasing potential rub on fender. FTR, I used to run -3.5* camber up front with almost 7* caster.
My car was never slammed, but I could not run the Enkei +45 wheels without massive rubbing... in the rain (fewer G's to compress suspension). I don't remember my Hoosier Wets (245) sitting as neatly flush as Rob's picture. That's with fenders rolled front and rear.


Lastly, buying something because you're trying to beat a deadline usually doesn't coincide with what you'd like to have in the long run. That's all I'll say on that subject.

the cage will be a gray color. Its a textured finish paint that does an amazing job of hiding drips.

Question: why a second bar over the stock dash bar? Why not tie into the existing one? It's pretty stout.
