I haven't even been doing many track days either. So I'm a total failure.

Me either, but whatever. Errbody got commitments and priorities.

My goal this year was to try new tracks, and I visited 2 of the three I had planned. I'm happy about that! Going to have to make a commitment to WGI early next season if I find a ride. My plan is to also run FATT and SATT's schedule as much as possible because single Firday and Saturday events are less time away from wifey! BOOM!

Mhyar promised me a free FATT day, BOOM!

Couldn't agree more from what I've read. You are also limited with toe plates to the front wheels only. I actually pulled the trigger on this kit last night to help facilitate boxing the car and taking the measurements. http://www.tenhulzenautomotive.com/4...nt-system.html

I cant comment on the quality or functionality at this point in time but from what I've seen it looks like a well put together kit.

I'd like to run WGI with HOD next year rather than GVC. Save myself the registration fee.

can you just account for front spacers by adding to the distance you use tho?

I never really thought about this with the box method but but assuming the front and rear track width is the same, if you are trying to box it out with the spacers on the sting should be 20mm closer to the hub on the front than the rear assuming your spacers are 20mm.
