Ended up using these huge fender washers to secure the wing. When I originally mounted it I cut too big of a hole into the structure and it in turn made the wing flimsy. Much better now.

I'm an OSH kinda guy, I'm really spoiled though in the East Bay as there's a few industrial supply shops nearby along with Grainger which is awesome but reaaaalllly expensive.

McMaster-Carr sells all of the weird stuff too. I got replacement sway bar link ends for the BW end links. Upgraded to a better quality eye bolt which has lasted much longer.

Man, its been a while. Last track day at a local track Eagles Canyon Raceway.
I corded the outside tire though, so I think I need to rotate more often as my 2 favorite tracks are hard on the outside right. I was over a second up on later sessions but with so much traffic, I couldn't get a clean lap. Time for Time Trials!

Aurora rod ends are probably the only one I know that is slightly better quality than FK.
Really expensive and hard to get. https://www.aurorabearing.com/index.html

But McMaster sells stuff to industry so they usually have quality from crap to high precision on most things. IMO, definitely the way to go if you understand what you need.

I've waited a year for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3s (non-r) to get back in stock for OEM staggered sizes with no luck. Going to see if the local BMW dealer can get a CCA discount on the install of some of the 240tw Pilot Cup 2 Connects.
I'm not jumping to a 200tw just yet since I have a feeling they'd put too much heat into my stock rotor setup. Finding a street tire with a high heat ceiling is a tall order. |

245/40R18 & 275/35R18 if you got 18s - yes rear is slightly shorter, but you'll get a free gearing advantage. 245/35R19 & 275/35R19 if you got 19s. Slightly taller rear, but I don't think it would cause any issues? |

This Savage Geese video kinda put me off running RS4s year round though, which is what I'm looking at. Probably what got me looking at the south of 300, north of 200 tread options. I don't want to derail the track chat. I think we had a tires thread awhile back I can find. |
