Looks like a great, simple product. I'd love to see some larger pics though.

Any ideas for something similar for the rear? I'm sure lower the rear that much isn't helping the camber curves much either...?

Robi,

I didnt see any sway bar / end link mods in your points assessment. Are you running stock bars and endlinks? I just got done putting the clubsports on and the sway bar is contacting the control arm on the front pass. side cause the end link is too long

For time attack, why not run the A series Hoosiers and get even more stick.

The A6s are more points than the R6s.

With NASA TT, you are limited to a certain number of points before being moved up into the next class. The base tire size for the TTD class is a 245. Running a 205 nets you 10 points back. The A6 compound is a 13 point tire.

Thus, a 205 A6 would be 13 points (compound) - 10 points (down sized tire) = 3 points.

An R6 compound tire is a +10 point compound. +10 (compound) - 10 (down sized tire) = 0 points.

It's all a strategy. While I'm sure Robi would like to run an A6, but he'd have to find an additional 3 points to do so.

Could always run a 205/45ZR16

For those who aren't familiar with NASA TT points, you can see a classing sheet here - http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/t...sification.pdf

We machine a custom monoball shell and press it into the stock lower control arm. This gets your roll center corrected for drops past the 15mm recomended. The bump steer corrects the steering for the same condition.
