Talking Still scraping those front ends?

We just received our shipment of the new Cargraphic front airlift system that gives you an additional 55mm raise which should help navigating those driveways



Here's Walter Rohl giving it a once-over..

wouldn't it be a fair bit cheaper to put a new splitter on every six months?

Oh absolutely it would but it's sure convenient not to have to take half an hour to get out of a drive way

Are you converting the struts in house or are you sending them to RSS?

Default Sharky Questions ?

What is your favorite color? ....
What is the weight of this lift system in lbs or KG? ....
And what is the maximum wind velocity of a GT3 on the front straight before braking for turn 1? ....


Sorry, Friday afternoon! Feeling light-headed!
Alex please answer the second question.

Thanks

Can this be set up so that you could bounce up & down like a lowrider?

Hey doug adds about 9 pounds or so

Favorite color is green and I'll pass on the other one although I know that Tanner Foust broke so hard going into the final turn/hair-pin at Sears point he compressed the suspension enough to where he cause my front lip to literally explode:P

Haha... I think it's a little slow for that but I'll have to test ours in the 'Hood next week and see how it holds up

How does it keep from introducing play into the suspension and how does it differ from the system Porsche is offering on the new GT3?
