You may have the ability to snap one or more of those attachment points. Probably not, but just something to be cognizant of.
Was this based on thee massive amount of HP your planning on, or the lesser but still massive amount I'm planning on... there is quite a difference between 1600 and 900, but 900 is still pretty amazing... These are based on a racing wheel, but the cars they are used for are substantially lighter than my 3900 lb Camaro... I've never spoken with anyone at Forgestar....

I guess worse case scenario, I break one and replace them with something designed for pure racing.... that will handle the HP torque....
