I’m just waiting on the rear wheels  From basset racing. and then I will have everything to make it a roller. Glad to see all me card board templates and napkin drawings are working out.

For autox:
RE71R  
Or advan a052
both are a very fast 200tw
there are some other 200tw tires that would be better suited (last longer) if you’re doing lapping days or hpde style stuff

Quick up date. 
Got some of my hardware to assemble my front end just waiting on ball joints and got a finish up some welding

All 4 done and ready to go. They will be powder coated in the future but first I gotta get some mock-up done.

I got a lot of welding to do on the subframes but hopefully soon. My ball joints are on back order sadly. 

Update. 
I gotta finish welding up the last control arm but here’s 3 of them. 
I used 3d printed jigs to replicate the tube lengths and made up a quick fixture.

I 100% agree with you. If you are using a Harden alloy shoulder bolt. But with that being said I will be mostly turning up a custom shoulder bolt . But any side load should be transferred to linear load with the thrust bearings. Not 100% transferred but lessened a great deal. I’m not saying you wrong in anyway and I will take any input I can.
