For anyone who finds this thread in the future, regarding RE71RS and A052. The wet performance of the RE71RS is considerably worse than A052 so if you plan to track in the wet, you may want to have a...

I have never heard of the bottom bolt breaking. I go out every other weekend and hit every piece of curbing at the track. I've heard of them coming loose and I've had one come loose myself (although...

I run 225/45/17 RE71RS on 17x9 ARC8 ET42 with 2 Camber Bolts. But I needed 3mm spacer in front to clear. I have 2.7 degrees. YMMV but this setup works fine and in the time trial series I run there is...

I don't track my mileage that closely. All I know is that I got better mileage with my C8 than I do with my GR86 despite having less than half the power. :cry:

APR Air Dam/Splitter for 2nd Gen

Does anyone here have the APR Air Dam/Splitter? Did it improve lap times? What rear wing (if any) are you using it with? Have you tried it without a rear wing, how was the balance?

Do you have any before/after data with lowering springs? Are you running them with factory shocks?

I think I'm going to do the whole season of time trial with COM next year, although I need to get some stickier tires and change the setup around a little.

Sprint kit is a waste of money unless all you care about is looks, just run the factory setup. It's very good. Select new pads suited to your application if you feel the stock ones are inadequate.
