Yea. I had a shop install camber bolts without my knowledge. The bolt ended up slipping and cause the wheel to make contact with the strut. Left a nice silver ring on the inner barrel of the wheel. So now that I have been traumatized, I won’t... (see full post)
Team, I was looking at a used 2012 Boss 302. I would use it for light HPDE/Track Days (3-4 a year).
