Dinan says that with this simple mod, they are able to put almost 90 pounds of force on the current front end bar by modifying the mounting bracket which tightens up the bar. I guess I could use a good set of tires too...

Yes, highway cruising is fun, but getting your wife sick driving the Nordschleife is even more fun!

Understood Russ..makes sense! We cannot all be so fortunate as the "Mighty Russ Ramz" with his heavily modded missile! You the man Russ! Alas, most of the owners here are relegated to lowly highway jaunts and the unchallenging feast of plebes. If only I could dare to experience the ring every day, I too would want this mod as a matter of self preservation God only knows what would happen to me as I foolishly attempted to throw the Big GT around the Ring As I had mentioned earlier, only guys really pushing the **** out of their cars need consider this mod. You certainly qualify as one of them. Good to hear from you man, happy cruising!
