This put the balance of the car right where I needed it and tweaked shocks and camber washers from there. My rear car was REAL fast even against all the mids including the b5m's.
Ya I'm actually running stock with the gearing of 72/34

Also running shorty all the way back

Are the set screws for front and rear hubs really not included with the kit?

For the guys running stock, what is out there to lower the rotational mass? I saw MIP releasing the top shaft. What else is available for this car along those lines? Any free tricks you guys have found success with?

3mm threads in cf have held very well in testing. It is a non load bearing fastener so a lot of torque is not needed and if you pull the threads a 3mm nut is easily put on back side

Ready to rock. Hopefully It's better than my 22 2.0.

Good to know, didn't see anything on the website, so I was curious. You may want to mention that in the product description. Any reason for the 2.5mm vs 3mm CF?

So I'll be doing some more testing now again with the gullwings.

I'd suggest leaving your battery still as far back as possible and improve the steering via another method. Try front dirt web tires if you have not. They are more aggressive.
Thanks for the feedback
