I am running a RaceFab Evo 10 lower control arm that extends arms out about 30mm and the ackerman is pretty parallel. The splitter is about 3" off the ground right now. With this areo package we were able to put down a 1:49.7 at buttonwillow for SuperLap Battle. This was on stock block motor and kw v3's. We had issues and was only able to get one good session

We are on Anze Suspension Custom Penske dampers now. Running a 700# spring all the way around. We were able to click a 1:48.2 the weekend after.

I am super interested in the suspension set up. Why did you guys choose to go with anze suspension?

We wanted to go with Anze as they are the only ones that make a McPherson Strut with Penske internals ask Penske is a shock manufacturer. Secondly, we don't have to send the unit back or are subject to having to go back to the manufacturer. All parts are sold by various shops online and even on Ebay.. Suspension could be rebuilt without having to send back to Manufacturer. We looked at KW clubsports and the JRZ triples but for the price and the reputation Penske has we wanted to give it a shot as not many have gone this route. On top of that, its all custom built to order so its not just some mass manufactured product that sits on the shelf. Angelo with Anze has been great to work with

What resources you speaking of? Most of this stuff you can do with alumilite. I am by no means an expert. Just a hobby for me that i do after work. I look at a lot of pictures on line haha

The resource of me knowing how to apply alumilite in some fashion other than a front splitter. LOL
Or to add widebody parts.
Etc
Etc.
My budget is super modest, so I'm happy with my car so far, but I'd really like to do more.

So your front track is 30mm wider than stock? Did you leave your rear track stock as well? This is really curious as it could change handling pretty dramatically.

Also, with the racefab arms, did you do anything for your front roll center?

the 8/9 chassis benefits pretty well from having a wider front track than rear.

Turn in is greatly increases when you widen the front track width and leave the rear alone.
