can't see most of the photos, but from the ones i have seen, i'm quite impressed with the work being put into it. i'm particularly fond of the suspension.

what brake rotors are those?

Rotors are from AWR, I will see I can do about the pictures. Thanks for the compliments.

Looking great, Carl! I am also a pretty big guy and I need all of the headroom that I can spare. How much lowering did you achieve with your seat pan modification? Do you have any concerns over cutting the frame rail? I need to check legality in my class, but I may do a similar modification...

With the seat pan mod I gained around 2", but in reality it was probably more, as the floor has the formed corrugations you can't mount the seat exactly flat anyways, especially with the factory mount points which I cut out with a spot weld remover.

Since I cut through the frame rail, I added back in the X support which brought back any stiffness. And really, the majority of rigidity is coming from the cage anyways.

Updates on the brake setup? I see an altered pedal ratio, 2 master cylinders and what I believe is a balance bar? I'm looking forward to seeing how you mount and actuate them with the stock pedal.
