do you have a rear lower tie bar and an asr brace?
would you feel a difference between the asr 24mm and an oem 22mm ype r rear sway bar?
car looks great by the way, finally got those teins, thats awsome. Cant wait for some shots with the volks on. Keep it up.

Yes, I have a Carbing rear lower arm bar and an ASR brace. I'm sure you'd feel a significance with a 24mm rear sway bar compared to a 22mm, but not too much. Yup, I finally got the Flex. I'm planning to put on the RE30s on before I hit the track.

I've never seen a Teg with dual exhausts. I'd probably laugh at them.

i've seen a DB1 with dual exhaust and unfortunately a DA with dual exhaust and both cases i LOL'd

of course both of them looked tacky, not as nice as the PS above

I'm gonna be using RT-615s for the track since it'll be my first time out. I wanna see how the DB8 performs on street tires before I start using the NT01s. Like my street setup, I will be using 205/50s all around.

might want to check the regulations on tire tread ratings for your classes. i know that the AutoX regulations for street class is a minium of 140 for this year. i think last year was 200. Correct if i am wrong but i think the nt01 are rated at 100, So if you run 100 tread rated nt01 then you'll be bumped up a couple of classes. dunlop has come out with some 140 tread tires that i was thinkin about. rt615 are 200 it believe. So just pick the right tires for the right class.

just my 2 cents.

The club I'm going to run with allows all drivers to use any class tire we want to use. There are three groups. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Obviously, I'll be starting off with the Beginner group. It's an HPDE, not a competition, so the tire rules are pretty lenient.
