Yup, we'll start a new product announcement thread on the steering spacer once we have verified it works 100% on USDM cars.
On a separate note, we removed both bumper beams. The front unfortunately, anchors the front tow hook. So we hacked that portion out of the front beam and left it on the car, just to retain the OEM tow hook location. Can't find the weights but they are listed in the big weight reduction thread elsewhere on the forum. Dropped around 18lbs with our combo IIRC. This weight comes of the ends of the car which contributes to a lower MOI (Moment Of Inertia). That's basically the cars resistance to changing direction.
Final tune on gas was 180whp. About 5-7whp shy of what we hoped for but the AUC (Area Under Curve) gains are huge. Hoping for 190-195whp on E85 tune which we'll start working in this week.
APR bumper is 14.3 lbs bare. Haven't weighed the OEM yet but I'm guessing it's about the same. Don't expect to lose weight but in this pic you can see the additional splitter area that should help aero balance without any drag penalty. APR piece is chopper gun construction. Was hoping for something hand laid or bagged which would have been much lighter and stronger but it is what it is. None of the other noses on the market were as low drag a design nor had as much splitter surface area. 86 Cup rules let us run this nose for minimal points on our build sheet. Well worth the gains.
