I thought it had a shelf life of 2 years but maybe thats once opened.
It does say that, but I doubt anything is wrong with anything older that's sealed. ATE says 5 years for their fluid. Once opened, you're not really supposed to use it, but I find SRF is perfectly fine later on.

Castrol said 18 months between changes is acceptable as well.

Does anyone here track their car with a front lip? If so which one & what's your suspension modifications?

I was tempted to get the GU lip but im on eibach pro kit springs. Seems like it may be too low for track use. Looking at most of your avatar pics none of you seem to run one.

I don't, but going to the track wouldn't stop me either. pulling out of my driveway does though lol.

as with anything, it depends on the lip. the G&G car uses a front lip and they went on track, so one can definitely go on track with a lip.

The project aero lip seems like the most conservative lip out there in terms of height, looks, and durability. It’s really just a splitter I guess. I would have no issues running it on track. Interested to see if anyone is or has ran any others and their experience

I plan to when my M&M Honda lip arrives. I will also stay at stock height. When I track, I don’t use the kerbs as much so I’m not overly concerned. It’s really just local speed bumps and parking lots that I’m scared of

No excuse needed I'll be slow.

But I'll also be bouncing all over the kerbs ?

I’m torn between the M&M and Mugen front lip. Excited to hear your thoughts when you do get the lip installed on your car.
