Thanks! I did Delrin subframe/diff bushing, switched from KW S/O to KW CS and added front splitter and wing all at the same time. All together they lowered my track times approx. 4 seconds at TWS and 5 seconds COTA. This was only my second time at COTA so some of that was still learning that track.

P.S. Most of the interior, suspension, brakes, KW S/O and Vorshlag camber plates are availably if anyone is interested.

GT4 Front Splitter and Canards

Swapping out my APR front splitter for a Mode Carbon GT4 front splitter and canards. I'm hoping to get more down force with this new setup.

Why not just order a larger APR splitter?

Properly securing a larger APR splitter would require use of 4 larger adjustment rods. I prefer the cleaner look of my APR splitter with 2 small rods or the molded look of the GT4 splitter.

GT4 splitter installed

Got the new front splitter installed. Lining everything up properly to drill holes for screws was quite a process. Now I'm test fitting the canards to see where I would like to mount them.
