Too much rotating weight, to much money. No reason to have it. Just measure the roll out you need and put the correct stagger in it!

I would not buy one to cover up a problem! Fix the problem! If you can't find the problem you could be looking in the wrong place! Start with the driver! Is the car binding? Save the money and fix the problem!!! Good luck. :-)

I think it would be a good thing. I've wanted to try one for awhile just could not afford it. I was told more people run them then you think, they just dont talk about it. I dont know for sure but would be very intersted in hearing from someone that has run one. Sounds like it should work good in the slick.

if they were a good thing most of the top touring guys would run them and i know quiet a few of these guys and dont know anybody that runs them. alot of the older guys have talked about running them yrs ago, but i think that was with the leaf cars.
