I have Weld in subframes bitch is super stiff as hell , Bmr LCA , and Relocation brackets, build 10 bolt and a 3.73 gear ,
No weight reduction what so ever , I really don't know how to launch it with a auto first stalled or A4 ever lol . So I'm getting pointers on how to from a lot of bracket racing guys I know cause that's what I start doing as soon as I get car dialed in
