Jason- Have you considered altering the rear pod plates to lower the ride height adjusters a bit? Even running #4 AE spacers I feel that I just can't run the tires down to a size I'm satisfied with. I really like the feel little tires deliver but the current setup is just a little too high. The tire size I like to start with requires 3.0 spacers to get a 3.5 mm ride height and are done in a day, tops.

With the IRS ride height spacers that come with the car you should be able to get plenty of ride height with no problem. Are you running old style standard rims or 38mm rims.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Craig had to change cars. Even though he was running for us, Corally USA being the class acts they are, is making everyone run 1/12th scale with the SP12X who runs the PHI for TC no questions asked. This is one of those things that is really beginning to wear me out. So be it, if they need to get that many fast drivers to make the car look good, it doesnt say much for the car. What a bunch of clowns(Not aimed at the drivers, they are doing what they need to do)

gubbs3-
check out the APS 3.75mm rear offset adapter, they should be lower than the IRS spacer and also offer .25mm increments.
Jason-
now I understand your politics comment from before. I guess we just need to work on getting your regional guys to raise our game. there are less politics at our level

I will be concentrating more on selling the best possible products rather than spending my money elsewhere. We have Jason Schreffler running our car and helping with testing and that is a big plus. He is one of the most talented drivers and a big help with R and D. This really doesnt hurt the company but it is just enough to get you a little pissed. Especially the working relationship i had with them. I will no longer be doing that to say the least.
I want to let you guys know that i will be looking over the entire car along with the pod plates and making a short run of cars(maybe 20) that will be a special edition kit and include some crazy stuff. I will be doing this for collectors really. I really dont have a ton of stuff i want to change but i will bling it out and give it a new color. I will keep you guys posted for those interested.

For what it matters I had my DB12R in the stock B main at the carpet nats. The car was money after I glued my fronts, it was the driver that kept me out of the A.

Yo Jason, I love to purchase one when they become available
