When I have a RSR in my garage I'll call you and say you told me so! =) Thanks

It's a Getty Decklid (hybrid- Cup outer with OEM street car inner for OE airbox) and I opted to go with OEM Porsche Motorsport wing, uprights and endplates.
Also picked up a spare fan and harness to make swaps a breeze.

Your correct, but if you notice the offset of the axel on the trailer is more toward the rear and does not leave enough space to fit the wheels, but once the box is loaded w/ my jack and gear it offsets the wheel weight really well. Toung weight is about 45lbs.
Guys on the vette forums run the same trailer and a few tried mounting their wheels on the rear and noted excessive bouncing and wagging from the trailer so I kept the wheels up front. No issues.

The rear is also reenforced as you asked. Willwood also sells heavy duty supports and I also mounted my hitch with 5 mounting points vs the original 2.

Thanks again guys.

any pictures to illustrate the process, by any chance? i am trying to fight my lazyness and do the same thing so i would start driving on R6 instead of NT01 tires but cannot force myself to start with this.

i wrote to Willwood some time before but got no response, is he still active?

Gonna do some more research on it for sure. High Rise Condo + Truck and big Trailer storage = pain in the *** so I may have to join Burkes trailer park club.
