Yeah, last pic on the original size shows just 2" of that inner tire supporting the car, so much grip that I could lean over on a flat surface.

Moton 2 way with 2.25" ID springs (for more inner fat tire clearance), rotated strut tops (for more inner fat tire clearance), rolled front and rear fenders (done by myself), -3.0 and -2.5 rear camber, lowered 10mm from stock, removed upper 996 GT3 front brake ducts, installed lower GT3 Cup front brake ducts, removed rear fender liners, cut and trimmed studs that support the rear fender liners, front wheel with ET32 plus a 5mm spacer, rear wheel with ET 57, bend rear fender lip where it attaches to rear bumper, unbolted and bolted back front fenders (I didn't do this, but will do next time), replaced front upper strut mounts with Manthey units for more caster, strut tops pushed all the way in, enough camber shims to just reach -3.0 degrees of camber, monoballs everywhere.

With all that incredible hardware there I'm wondering how the sound police were that day. Since, there was no mention of black flags for sound, I'm assuming Sharky Bypasses and the Cup exhausts were fine? I read recently someone had an issue a T-Hill and I'm hoping to be fine there with a 3.8 and a Bypass. We'll see, I guess.

The ones who get nailed by the ***** are cars with 107 db or when the day is cloudy/foggy. Mike

You are slow on getting on that bandwagon. I have had those size's for a year now The 35 sidewall really helps keeping the rake and having that wide patch. I guess the secret is out, i wont have that up my sleeve of tricks.
