Really good info dude. Was about to complain about fender gap and then I read you rubbed, yikes.

Are you running this setup on the street too? Never asked.

I am not too worried about the rubbing as it is very very slight and should not be a case if I don't over that specific apex bump or add a bit more camber in the rears.

I drove to the event and don't mind driving around (during the summer) but since Trofeo R tires are expensive at $560 a piece and they require more camber, I will simply change to my OEM/street setup once I get back home.
If I ever put on a more aggressive street tires (PSS, RE71R and or RS3s) or cheaper R comp tires like NT01s or R888Rs, I might use them during the summer as I did previously with my other cars

Apex will start manufacturing the ARC-8 wheel in an ET44 19x11 size, which would be perfect for the rear. They are stating a June delivery

I think those offsets would be ideal for those who want to stay in 305s in the rear but not sure if it would be ideal for 325s, mine is also not ideal btw I think ideal size for 325s would be something like 33-35 offset. I think it might be easier running 325s with the upcoming Multimatic suspension. I really consider getting that once they release the new ZL1 1LE

Your car does look fantastic with those Apex wheels and the blue.

UPDATE: C7 Z06 fender flares received and will be installed soon.
Talked with Schroth Racing and order the missing end piece of my Rallye 3 ASM harness. It should also arrive soon and I will install that as well.

I found the root cause of hesitation issue that I started running into after 2nd track event and wrote this little how-to showing how it can be fixed:

they're very good especially if you combined with the ZL1addons lift points..it definitely looks a better built than those traditional types

Doug from Chase Race. He is very knowledgeable and took good care of my cars. He may get busy at times but you may communicate via email and plan accordingly.

Trofeo R tires felt really good but it took longer to heat them up compared to OEM, RE71R and NT01 tires that I previously had a chance to try in similar conditions (~50 degrees). Once they did reach the temps though, it easily passed the ideal 34-35 psi hot temps and I saw the tire temps reached to 36-37 psi pretty quickly. After adjusting the tire temps (starting with 27 psi front and 26 psi cold temps in the rear) they felt a bit more stable at 34-35 psi after a few laps.

Nice lap! Which track do you prefer? ORP or The Ridge?
