This make sense??

I already run 17" rims and have excellent front brake setup (13" Movits).
Vette setup for rear - is it direct swap or some machining required?

Ralf, you are way light on camber, and a bit on caster too. You need camber for grip, and it's hard to get too much. I run -1.8 and would like to get to -2, but can't under the rules I have to abide by and the ride height I run. -.4 is nothing, even -1 would help front grip a ton.
