You guys have it easy. When Stielow and I bought our "bolt on" C4 clips back in 1999, we basically got screwed. The difference is that Mark is a suspension engineer, so he immediately went to work on alterations. But I'm a marketing guy. So I looked at the clip and said "C4 A-arms & spindles--cool!" I probably spent $12K over the years in do-overs to make the clip right on the 3rd try (Stielow cautioned me after try #1, but I didn't listen).


Ty,
Anyone of the top three clips will work excellent. Those include, AME, DSE, and 21st. In your case, I would go with the 21st Century clip. Mark will have already have a head start on setup experience thru Steve Rupp's car. In your particular case, that would be the tie-breaker for me. You will not be disappointed.

Bowtieracing,
I have a friend down from Maine, Jake Parrott, who is helping me prep my car for the Bullrun Rally. As the ultimate reimbursement, I let him have back to back test drives in a OE clip car with full DSE Speed 3 upgrades vs. a 21st clip car. This is especially generous, since neither car belongs to me. Numerous other distinctions exist between the two cars, but I assure you that the clip car is light years ahead of the OE car. Jake has also driven my car. The numismatists will be pissed to hear that statement, but it is true nonetheless. If you are close to the idea of purchasing a clip, pull the trigger. You will be thrilled at how easy it is to drive your car fast.
