I truly enjoy and learn from reading this journal.
Thank You very much for taking the time to do this excellent write up.

Looking at your pics, ride height and setup, I am both impressed and puzzled on how your front tires (at ET35, with 245/40/18) don't rub the bumper liner.
My setup with the same KW CS set at 23-1/2" height (from bottom wheel to fender line), the front 245/40/18 ET38 rubbed slightly during transition from oval bank to flat surface. My rear setup with 275/35/18 ET25 has no issue.


So, my solution is to replace front with 245/35 and will be testing it on the track this weekend.
The 245/35/18 smaller diameter creates more spacing between the tires and liner therefore it doesn't look as "slammed".
