Brake duct testing is a good simple experiment. We did it a few years ago when we developed our kit for STI. Get some temp strips to make life easy.
I'm surprised no one has asked you to test the Whiteline roll center kit! - Andy |

Your description states it's essential for lowered cars - if minimally lowered (i.e., with RCE Tarmac 2s), is this still beneficial? |

I suspect we'll explore RC correction at some point... we're squaring away horsepower at the moment, but looking for avenues to explore next, because we're almost done.

Mechanical LSDs?
Different gearing? Better flywheel/clutch combo? either NA or FI |

They generally like to test to socal tracks and I feel ideal gearing is track specific. A shorter gear will give it slightly better acceleration in straights overall but I know many people who prefer the AP1 tranny at buttonwillow vs AP2 despite having "slower" gearing because it saves them a shift to 5th on certain corners.

Definitely happy with this mod. I'd recommend it to anybody. A 3rd party test would be great though.

This. I'd love to see the final drive gears tested but I suspect that the benefits might end up being very track specific.
I'd love to see somebody test out various wheel and tire combos on this car, scientifically. It'd be great to know how different rims widths, tire sizes, pressures, compounds and tire models affect performance. Tires, or aero.
