Also, since the length of the shock body is longer then aftermarket coilover shock bodies, under compression load, you'll bottom out( hit bump stop) with your wheel/tire further from the body work then if you had a aftermarket coilover with shorter shock bodies. This is my theory as to why you are not rubbing with 18x10.5 et15 285/35/18 up front.

Any questions you have from watching the vids? have you been there before?
i wont be there saturday, only Sunday for the time attack, ill be driving the Black JDM Civic Type R i drove at Willow springs
I have not done Button Willow yet so first time Saturday, we have the Nissan competition that day. Martin's and my car are parked next to each other up at corner 3 right now lol, his rear suspension was a mess when I dropped mine off last Saturday but I am sure Steve got it figured out this week.

I have contemplated staying on Sunday for a few sessions if I can keep the GF entertained long enough. It's a long drive for just one day. If I stay there I'll look for you, otherwise have fun and be safe.

No questions probably until I get a feel for the track but definitely have watched your video about 20 times already to try to memorize the turns!
