Hey Jim, is the carbon fiber tape REAL carbon fiber or the fake look-a-likes?

It is fake, but looks great. Give their website a look. http://www.tapeworks.com

BNMotosports also make brushed stainless inserts for the sails as well. Plus they can be engraved or powder coated if you want. www.bnmotorsports.com Rick

Cliff: Here's a pic of my car at SZ'02, with satin black painted sail panels. They look great ('been 2 years like that now), even better than the "dimpled" pre-'98 ones IMO...

Jim, if you have the picture up on a web server, just hit the "Image" button under the Message window while you're typing in your post. Paste the web address for your picture there and click OK, it'll insert the UBB code for you in there..

[/b] I'm just wondering how much you lowered your ride, and what kind of springs you used, looks sweet. Also, how's the ride since you've done that... rougher?

Eric: Thanks for the props, I'm running a very special coilover suspension. The dampers are Leda (made in UK) and the springs are made by Hypercoils.
The drop is probably around 3.5" in front and 3" out back on that picture... I really don't know.. It's height adjustable..
As far as roughness goes.. It's VERY stiff, but also very controlled. I didn't say rough or harsh. Damping is 24 point adjustable on my kit. At maximum damping at the track I have about 1" worth of wheel travel going on..
..it also hits the wallet VERY hard.
