^ our view is why bother spending the money for 225s in the back when 205 SM take-offs from Spec Miata drivers are cheap to buy 2nd hand and 'just right' for less grip in back!

There's a lot of folks on here that have a beef with Joe from 2JRacing, but that's who I would use to "bend" the beam or install the panhard. He's a little north of Atlanta. I had my beam "bent" by him back in 2012. I also had the car aligned by him. The word that best describes his work is precision. While the beam work he did vastly improved rotation, it still wasn't enough for track duty, IMO. If I were to do it all over again I'd just have the panhard installed and be done with it. He has some track videos on YouTube of his B15 with a panhard killing it around Road Atlanta etc. FYI, Joe also participates in Chump/Lemons...he's a hell of a driver.

My 2 cents for what it's worth.

Thanks for the tip Hank! I may have to reach out to him if we're racing anywhere near Georgia.

Yep, that vid was way cool. Makes me want to put a VG or VQ in a B13 chassis and tear it up on those road courses. Awesome.......
