This thread started out showing the install of their high clearance control arms and after a long wait we finally got to try them out - both with respect to performance and clearance. Last weekend at RTTC they were put through their paces and, as expected, we had no issues with them.

This weekend in Del Mar we had our new front and rear tires on the car and although it's hard to see any difference in these pictures, there is an inch more tire up front and in back. On the front we went from an 8" rim with 5.4" of backspacing and a 255/35 R888 to a 9" rim with ~6.4" of backspacing and a 275/35 Michelin PS2 - no clearance issues except for a small but acceptable reduction in turning radius. That wouldn't have been possible with our old setup so it's a huge step forward for us and the "final piece" of our front suspension tuning puzzle.

Thanks Blake!
