Your 'junk' looks spectacular, as usual!
Thanks Ron - let us get a bit more work/testing in and we can talk. We've done some preliminary work but we still don't have final ride height set to run through everything with 100% confidence.

Tom - I think that it was worth it. I wish the rest of the car would have been 100% but on the wet and dry skid pads we were markedly improved over previous years and the car was the easiest to drive that it has ever been. There are some fixes that are still required and at this point I'm not sure if the improvement comes from the tire width or the track width balance. I've gone back and forth on tires for the last couple of months and there might be some more work to do. At this point I know that I could fit 325s (and we could probably fit 345s) all round but don't think that it would be worth it.
