Ok,

I'm getting some shorter springs up front and probably some matched rate springs for the rear. I'll run just a little more rate than the Ohlins came from standard. Nucci showed me some 65mm springs that I can run on the 2.5" perches.

I'll be ordering the Chromoly for the trailing links and measuring the ball joints this week.
I'll have to coax my friend with a lathe to make some pieces for me so I use the OEM link to chassis ES bushing and the aftermarket Ball Joint.

My metal working friend Jason Hoskings will be coming over for some custom bits. So I wouldn't say it's completely stock lol.

+38s
20mm spacer up front, no spacer in the rear. I might be able to use an 18mm front spacer or a 19mm spacer to save a few mm's. Caliper clearance is about 4-6mm.

That is an awesome setup for sure...loving the 295's! It is also cool that you are able to get away with a 18-20mm spacer. My 18x10 +38 XD9's are requiring a minimum of a 25mm spacer which is only netting me 1mm of clearance at one point on the caliper by the piston. Sad face lol but it will be fine.

It's a track/autocross setup...why do you think having more traction would make handling suffer?

Turning radius maybe but handling

Turning radius is bad already so when one runs big *** tires you will lose some turning.
You will mos def stick to the track lol but may cause some understeer.Sick setup tho

In a month or two I'll be ready to build all sorts of control arms when I finish the CNC conversion of the milling machine I just put in the garage. I can also be a friend with a lathe, got one of those now too.

I'll have to checkout what you did to fit that kinda meat under stockish fenders fo_sho. You coming out to the big track this year?

Based on what I'm hearing, he's taking it far enough apart that its anybody's guess when it will be back on the racetrack...

The new engine will be the biggest hold up IMO. New turbo is on the brew
