Not sure what I will do for the rear seat delete area yet, probably cover with light weight carpet.

Used the threaded boss in the hatch area to mount the canisters

Snap a rusty rear exhaust hanger bolt can't really complain that was the only broken bolt, called it a day I will drill that sucker out and bleed the brakes next weekend.

Then ready for corner balance and alignment, Racers Edge is 3 hours from me, I may make an appointment if they can do the job and me do the trip all in 1 day, we will see

I used the pics you posted of the Jellybean racer as a guide

Tried the new suspension today at Barber Motorsports Park, after thunder, lightning and hail moved out of the area the am sessions were very wet, had a little scrape with the armco chasing a GTR... came in pulled the quarter panel back into usable shape, the afternoon sessions were dry, car handled great, hunted down the GTR and earned a point by well.... it is a DE after all. Once I sort thru video I should see that I improved my personal best time by a sizable margin.

Did you have any weight in car when you corner balanced?
Just had mine done and was at 3160lbs with a full tank of gas and me in the car.

Hankook V12 street tires, wide body has crossed my mind, or leave as is show a little "attitude" but will most likely just repair it back to stock.

Ran an autocross this morning, was within 2 seconds of FTD (a well set up S2000 on Hoosiers and driver only) me on street tires and a passenger. I am pleased with the suspension.
