There's bound to be some info (with pics and dyno charts) that you might find interesting; especially since you're going for a road course build.
Yep. It's been a while. I have a LOT of reading to do...hehe

I'll run and check it out.

Your rear is about 8mm lower than it was if I remember correctly.

On a lowered 5th Gen, headers, cats, exhaust and fascias are all self clearancing
