No clubs would let you take your kids on hot laps.

So what's next? Same tires? You were running 255 35 right? Any more events for the year?

Just ordered a set of RE71rs’s in the same size. Might do one more event in November when I get the new tires mounted.

-2 at stock height
I just picked up a set of the EVS tuning lower ball joints to see if I can stretch to -3 degrees of camber. Think it would help tremendously at my local track. I doubt they'll arrive in time for this weekend though.

You close your visor? I always keep mine open. With that attachment you can still close your visor, well...all but the last few millimeters.
I always ran visor open until a buddy hit a deer and ended up with his helmet completely covered in deer feces. It’s been visor down since then. Was hard to get used to at first but I’m OK with it now.

Making a video? I'm trying to figure out if I actually need to remove the brake dust shield to install or can work around it. I've had a pair sitting in the box for a few months.

I don't have my dust shields installed :oops:

Looks pretty straight forward. There are basically three bolts to loosen. Then an alignment from hell.

Ah ok. Maybe I'll just leave mine off if I end up having to remove. I've read you can bend them a bit to make room. Thanks :thumbsup:

They trap quite a bit of heat. Learned that the hard way, but if you remove them you'll need to wrap sensors and ball joints with reflective tape.
