I like this idea a lot, actually! T5 touring class is likely where this car would shine, right? wouldn’t have to stress the motor with heavy tuning, and by adding the KW Clubsport’s, I’d be deleting the OEM active suspension in compliance with the rules.
At ~3,400lbs with me in it @ ~233rwhp, it already puts me at 14.5— slight engine tuning and/or modest weight reduction could get me to 14.0

What’s your recommendation for safety upgrades, especially when considering TT? Would it be much different between T4 and T5?
