Thanks Mike. That's some good information.

This is based on a few assumptions, since we have an incomplete set of data. Raise the car if you want to play it safe.
Okay thank you for all your help!

In all seriousness though, heavy trail braking and understeer issues can prove dangerous there

You can use the back seat(s) to make sure you have all the space you need for your equipment and maybe some spares.

Should I get a lightweight underdrive pulley kit if I'm planning to get a turbo kit in the future? More precisely the works stage 2 turbo kit. Pros & cons of pulley w/ kit and without? Are there any issues with a pulley kit and boosted engine?

Is the Works turbo kit decent on track? I may be behind the times, but I thought anyone with a turbo able to drive their car at the limit would have overheating issues on track without insane mods (i.e. element tuning). AFAIK anyone that is even remotely serious about tracking their car with forced induction goes with a JRSC kit or maybe something similar.
