The trunk i got for so cheap i couldnt say no and we have braces we will be putting in the trunk to support the spoiler and we will also be making new brakes to make the spoiler taller and in good air for more downforce... and if anyone thinks the spoiler is there for looks no i would never do that lmao, its there for downforce only lol

Ive read that as well and ive also read numerous that say it doesnt but everyone has an opinion.

I was at a show similar in style to PRI in Chicago a few years ago for Computech and I went to a Brake seminar with Hawk and Stoptech and I asked that same question, and with modern manuf from quality companies there is very little difference in strength the fear is derived from the shotty way people used to drill them. And the wilwoods on there were in stock and i installed them last year for autox lol

Rollcage Day 1 / Build Day 9

Day 1 of the roll cage install started today at Tom Pallatin Motorsports in Concord, NC. We took out the rest of the interior including the carpet, sun roof, rear deck, all AC and Heat components, entertainment system, wiring harnesses, random extra metal covers on doors and cross members and a few other random things equating to nearly 50 - 70 lbs of weight reduction on top of the other weight we saved in previous days. The car is now completely stripped and getting the rollcage installed this week! Here are some pics of whats left of a luxury car...

Build Day 10 -

Today we did prepped the interior for paint and did a couple other things while we had the car in front of us. The KW Clubsport Suspension finally came in and we installed them and put a base setup on it and then we moved to mounting the Toyo R88's on the Volk TE 37 SL's and put them on the car to see what we needed to do to make them fit. The front is perfect but the rear with the 305's sticks out a little bit but with some fender work it should look perfect. Damn do those 305's and 285's look huge! Here are some pics from today, enjoy!
