335s om an FFR?
Jim,
My friend is building an FFR,/MKII for a customer with a rear that was narrowed an additional 4" over stock. How were you able to fit 335s on the rear of FFR? He was able to fit only 295/50s on the back, and had to trim off part of the original spring mount on the frame and part of the shock mount below... It's really tight and there was no way to fit anything wider UNLESS going with some sort of a wheel with little or no offset, like a FWD wheel... Anything wider would rub on the outside of the body. He also had to trim the rear fender lip a bit too. As for any questions on the Unique or ERA, fire away, that's what I've built for myself and helped a few friends... As for FFRs, my friend is building one for a customer and I'm thinking of helping someone to build one, only if we can stuff larger tires on there (like the 335s you mentioned)...
As for BDR, if you like what they offer for suspension and how they shape the body, I agree, its a nice option for the price. I almost became a dealer for BDR once, but it did not work out for a few reasons... I talked with Reg for over a year about needed changes for the car, and they have incorporated some of those since then... Great car if you stay under 450hp, IMHO. See Ya.
