Quote: Red BS CLK - Offensively and degradingly super sick!! JT hats off to your masterpiece.
Thanks brother!

I have just one issue - its the offset on the wheels - there are close ups of the front and rear and you can clearly see the front is pushed out more than the rear. I am a crazy perfectionist and must get this right - so is it push the rear out or push the fronts in? I havin been losin sleep for 2 weeks now (only half kidding)

Vic, sorry but I can no longer worship your "average" M6 and 997TT.

How about posting some times and a few vids?
There are ab 13 vids on youtube - here is link to my fastest time of the day - 11.46 at 122.14 -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hr3mmLKwJk on Andys 265 drag radials and my first time racing and ab the 10th time driving the car. Before i drove to MIR the car only had 1100 miles on it - so you could say its barely broken in. And my fastest time came on my 9th consecutive run. i was literally pulling off the track and lining up again. I ran an 11.66 on a 305/25/20 which got ZeRO traction at nearly 123.

Thanks again for all the compliments - it does really need to be seen in person. You can't tell in the pics but the window trim and the hood vents are also done in carbon. actually the window trim is like half carbon half chrome-
they kinda split it down the middle - not what i was expecting but it came out nice nevertheless.
It also had blacked out taillights - but they were a little to black - so i got a new set and might redo them lightly.
As far as the hubcentric spacers i bought a set for the rear - just havent put them on yet cause i fear the rear will hve to be raised in order for them to fit.
The Rims are Modulare M9's - done by PETER LEE at Wheel Experts in Texas.
Peter has stated he will do whatever i want to remedy the situation - either redo the fronts to come in more or redo the rears to come out more - its my choice - he always stands behind his product and in 7 years has never let me down on over 10 sets of wheels.

JT55's RED BLACK SERIES is the BOMB and the nicest one I have seen and I saw all the work being done by Bruce at TT Motorsports... Luckliy Bruce's shop is located about 10 mins down the road from my work. I drove down for the event with a Long Island group of guys which was a blast! Nice event and look forward to doing it again! Best to everyone, Joseph

Which is more inline/flushed with the fenders? Front or rear? If the fronts are more inline/flushed to the fenders then push out the rears.

Just curious on the H&R suspension. Is that a regular H&R part number you ordered or did Evo do anything else to it? Still amazed at how perfect the drop/gap and stance is. Especially with the 20"s you're running. Very clean. Those 6mos of waiting was definitely worth the wait and paid off.

This car was scaled and balanced(1116L/F,1113R/F,950L/R,905R/R) before JT55 picked it up and it was a lot of time to get the stance to look as great as it does. Thanks for the props.

Can you tell me what the process is when you guys did the scale and balance on this car? I'm guessing the purpose of that S & B is to make sure the car sits evenly on all 4 corners? Did you guys do anything to the suspension (springs or shocks)?

The car's height was adjusted to be even all around and then aligned with a lot of the negative camber taken out of the rear. It was then scaled and the weight bias was corrected through ride height adjustments. The balancing was more for the driveability of the car and not the looks. A person of similar weight was in the car in the same seat position that the owner would be sitting in.
The springs in the front and the springs and tenders in the rear were upgraded.

Seems like a pretty tedious work but the result did pay off. Car's stance looks very good and even. You guys did an impressive work.
