Thanks for the info. From what I heard, Warranty could be voided if spacers are being used!

Is there any risk in grinding that tab on the strut?

How was the performance gain (acceleration change? steering?) going to this setup? It likely dropped 40+ lbs and thats similar to what I was considering doing.

Warranty concern due to a 5mm spacer? I'm confused. You realize the spacer can be removed in 2 minutes and 5mm isn't a big spacer. I can't think of one issue such a minimal spacer could cause.

Does the move to 19" affect he speedometer/odometer?

It was 3-5 seconds on a 3.2 mile road course (NCM). The benefit was principally from changing to fresh RE71R's from half gone Goodyear Supercar 3's.

Yes. 2-3 MPH at 70 MPH.

So no noticeable performance from a roll for non-track use with the weight loss?
