    Yeah I'm gonna keep it on the low low. On the other hand... I blamed it on a bent rim, so you know what that means.

    I have it for looks. If there is some minuscule performance benefit, all the better.
    I've been told by some of my buddies who have them that it does make a difference on the track. The chassis feels slightly stiffer.
    I would tell you how they feel at the next auto-x/track day if I had one. Who knows, I might have one by then.
