Same boat I’m in. No endplates and can’t diffuse the splitter. I resorted to modifying my wing stays to lower the wing.

I may need to look into that if I run out of other avenues. Thanks for the insight!

Trying to even out the balance of the car after installing the Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing with their composite front splitter!

Looks like a proper race car now!

I might've missed it, but was there any substantial damage from your off-road excursion at M-O?

Thanks, it's coming together nicely!



There is a bit of damage to the rocker panel and fender on the passenger side. The gravel managed to push it in and dent those panels. All cosmetic damage so not a huge issue. I'll probably end up fixing it in the off season. Maybe.

Just thought I'd mention that one of the nuts to hold on your transmission is missing as seen in the attached pic.

Thanks for pointing it out. I think I did notice that while I was under there, but just forgot about it. I'll be changing the clutch soon so I'll make sure that gets sorted!

Curious why you chose the C43 kit over something like the AP sprint?

I have been rocking the old 328mm ST40 kit for years with no complaints, but my big complaint is the ST friction rings are almost double what the AP's are.

It really came down to me getting a really good deal on this kit that I felt I couldn't pass up.

I actually really did want the AP Spring kit, but we'll see how this kit does.
