At the track, I get a lot of outside wear at -1.7 and if you got wear on the inside at -3 I might go for -2.7 just to get even wear.

I called them today and got the default 2 months answer when these will be selling.

Errrrrr!!!!

If he didn't ask for even more negative camber they might have gone to production with the second prototype..

I called today, got through on my third attempt, seems like they are now doing a v4 for more caster adjustment, and aiming to be tested with Nismo09 in approximately 2 weeks.

Production + assembly are estimated to be 2 months. Theoretically, the fastest we will be able to get it is about 3 months from now.

I hope this is the final version

I will text them and see what the deal is. First I have heard of this. Total bummer if this is true.

I am running at TWS on May 4th & 5th and wanted the final version on the Nismo.

Well what I call the proto III's (hopefully the final version) are done per SPL and on their way to Houston (today - being driven by Sean himself) to get electroless nickel plated. Hopefully they will be back in Austin by next Tues/Wed so I can get them on the car for the Texas World Speedway event next weekend. I will call on Tuesday and find out the status. I have my fingers crossed.

Yep - it is my fault.

Seriously speaking, I was told that the pirelli world challange folks want/need more camber and caster - and yes I want to be able to get at least -3.5 camber out of these just like the ones that were made for the 350z's. The proto type II's just were not going to get there. Remember, Sean is a perfectionist which i love. I talked to him on the 17th and he said 2 more weeks at the latest so we will see. Trust me - I will be first in line.

wow they couldnt get -3.5, but you are not dropped much correct? Im looking for -3 ~ -5 with a 1" to 1.5" drop. You think that would be possible?

You have to remember, I went from 19" rims (staggered setup) to a 18" squared setup (for track events) so that did a 3/4" drop right there. With the proto II arms, the car dropped another 1/2". I am now at 4 3/4" off the ground at the front bumper. My original stock setup was at just under 6" at the bumper so the current setup with the proto II's is pretty low in my opinion. Anything else and I will be bouncing off the ground on bumpy tracks.

Just so you know I am running 275/35/18 NT01's all the way around.
