I was confused by your title, I opened the thread and expecting a Silverstone Mica FD and saw Montego Blue! The minute I saw mention of sanctioned autocross the "SSM" made sense.

Cool build, I'm sure you'll love the car.

Nice build. Just a FYI for the Ohlins, the top hats with the wider foot print and hole go on the rear coils where there is a bump that the hole lines up with. Save you some headache to switch it before realizing the problem during install

Curious to see how you can fit 295 a052's in front. They have a footprint of a 315 pretty much.

maybe the First ones that came out that where discontinued do to tread depth issues.
but these definitely are not close to a 315.
I have them measured at just a little over 11 1/4in thread width and 11 3/4in section width.

i know it’s going to take about 2.5degs of camber up front and an aggressive pull for sure. But have already test fitting them. Its definitely going to be aggressive.

Full stuff. Fenders only have a roll. So the 295 A052 will fit.
they will never be pushed up this far as this is with out the strut. Bump stop and coilovers hight setting will not allow this. Just got reference that the 295 a052 will stuff.

oh and thank you for the info. I have gone over your build thread that you posted.
This car is a new platform for me and I will take any help I can get.
I do have a friend (Dallas J Cutler)that will be helping setup the car. I believe he came in 2nd place this year in SM and 1st place last year for the national championship in Nebraska. His co driver took 1st this year.
