Hi,


Do you have a photo? Don't see how you could mount the tower in front of the bulkhead.

It is a fairly simple mod, just trim off the thin ribs and mount the tower to the front of the bulkhead.

You will need to use the short shock stand offs + about 1mm of spacers at the top and around 4mm of spacers between lower eyelet and wishbone.

This allows mod allows you to move a chunk of weight forward helping rotation, even more so when you move the wing forward so it is almost touching the tower like it is in the standard location.

You'll gain a load of natural rotation and the car seems significantly better in direction changes. Together this allows you to set the front of the car up to give the steering feel you want easier, especially if used with the V2 steering rack.
