Protoform bodies' wheel bases are already too long... with the SS you won't be able to see rear wheels 
. Think of it as an aerodynamic enchancement.

I installed the graphite towers last night, shoo goo the rear to the diff cases. I did notice on the rear graphite shock towers that it sits very low. It almost looks as if the bottom of the rear towers is touching the rings on the derlin outdirves. Has anyone notice this?

hey buggZI!
The ssg parts are not only just eye candy. They are actually reinforced with aluminum pieces to make the carbon fiber stronger for less flex. There were a lot of complaints about how flexable the old c.f. is. They also have a cool gray shiney look to them-eye candy.

If you want to make them stiffer why not add more layers, different materials ...kevlar... etc.
I would think the addition of aluminum into the mix would make the pieces more likly to tweek or bend?

Ran my 04R today for the first time, on the track that is. The car was hooked. Some other cars were getting lapped . I'm very please with the perfomance.

That's the set up jackhammer74. The only thing that I did differently was add 1 black shock piston to each shock, internally. The ones that come with the 04R kit. I still have the white piston in place but needed a little less travel on the shock since I adjusted the droop settings from the manual
The car had a slight oversteer but I'm going to wait until it's actually warmer before I change anything. It was about 45 degrees and cloudy Sunday.

Mike I am going to assume you may know a little about the place where the TCS race is going to be held this summer. Can you tell me a little about the place and what kind of surface it is and so on. I will need to prepare a couple of cars for this race.
