Mike - national champion (DS + many high positions in FS), Chad - won CAM-C eyar before Nightmaremoon, Evan - GS National Champ from last year, Sam - don't even have to mention. That's FS top 4 from '25 Nats.
impact full.
Our local pain is a former CP national champ driving an SS 1LE on staggered Vitours.

I'm in the process of swapping out my Ohlins R&T dampers for MCS 2-ways. I am planning on still running the divorced rear springs (1200#) and 700# front springs. The first thing I've noticed is how loud the rear dampers are. I can deal with a bit of squeaking (assuming that will go away after some use) but the spherical links used for mounting seems to be the main reason for the rattling I now hear going over bumps. Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone have a good starting point for the dials versus the very generic MCS suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help here.

I run the MCS 2WNR with rear as a coilover with my own upper mount design, can confirm the rear shocks are quite squeaky!

Where did you mount the steering wheel controls?
I only wanted to keep the "OK" and arrows controls from the left side of the wheel. If you look at the pic I posted they are mounted under wheel to the left. I then mounted a horn button and a Dyno Plug switch to the right of the wheel.

Got it. That looks super clean; I've been trying to figure out where to mount buttons in mine. Nice work!/, might pick you brain when I finally get around to doing this same thing.

That Drift 777 part did ship and looks fine.

No hardware, and without screwing in the controls its got some thin spots I’d be worried about breaking but its a real thing and not vaporware.

I guess I need a race wheel and seats now 🤷‍♂️

What wheel attachment system did you go with Lightning?
