Do you have tow hooks/loops on it?

Thanx! Sorry if you tried to catch me and I was busy prepping the car... We had a quick turnaround in the autocross, so I found myself pretty busy this weekend!

I have a hook on the front, and 2 on the rear though they are really set up to be tie-downs instead of tow hooks (not easily accessilbe from the rear).

Any chance I could get details on them? I am in the planning stages, so parts acquisition mode.

I bought the blanks and drilled the holes as needed. Then I had them powdercoated black. Pretty simple...

Don't tell anyone the springs rates front & rear ... or their brain will fry.

It was fun working with you the last two weekends via text & phone. Seems like you have a good handle on the tuning now & the car's balanced well.

Or the fillings in their teeth might rattle out!

Ditto! Thanx again for all of the help. Now to work some more on the driver.

I'm long overdue for a real update in this thread. Several things have been changed/tweaked this summer, so I need to write up a real post. Obviously, I've been working with Ron on some suspension tweaks. I cannot even begin to tell you all how much I've learned from him from our emails and phone conversations. But the most amazing part is the service after the sale. That has been invaluable!
