Message	Got a little warmer this weekend (45 degress) so got started on my upgrades I received a couple weeks ago. Trying to shoot for opening day at Watkins Glen International and would like to have everything done in time (April 17 th). Just thought I'd share some shots. Wanted to take more but my assistant was on a timetable and my hands weren't exactly camera friendly. Looks like I'll have to wait till next weekend for the rears. For those asking about Baer rotor weight, didn't have a functioning scale at the time. Sorry. Enjoy. Had Z1's relocation bracket powdercoated. Thought it would be a nice look. New Powertrix upper control arms. Didn't cheap out. Thanks Charles. Powertrix tension rods. Need to figure a way to attach the air deflector. New rods are beefier up front. Still had a little room, not alot. Almost like the Volks were made for this upgrade. Not much bigger rotor but man it sure seems to fill the hole up.
