Used them first time April 21/22 at VIR in the wet with street pads, Shaved R-comps and I must say they are incredible, 8-10lbs weight savings over stock per corner, you can feel it. Easy to install yourself but be aware you will need a good set of spacers 10mm to clear the calipers when running the stock rims. Actually I have 4 sets of rims and 3 need spacers for the front, may affect clearances on a lowered car as well.
I have stock suspension and running 18x9 rims with Shaved 255/40/18 Dunlop SP Sports will cause some rubbing under hard braking and into corners, you can dial this out by braking smoother and better turn ins, mine happens most when very late passing and turning in tight to set up a later pass, no panel/paint damage. Caliper clearances are also very slim, the wheel weights rub on the caliper, which is 1/8th -3/16th clearance.
I run in Intermediate Advanced groups and this being my first time with this set up I was impressed. I ran my B6S4 Avant overweight and underpowered aginst 2 RS4's on stock set ups, they pulled on me in the straights which I gained all back in the braking zones and following corners, being able to get by both in about 6laps, they had both been suffering from overheated rotors(in the wet)and bad vibrations. Next trip will be in the dry and on a track pad.
I also have the Shroth 4point setup mounted to the factory seatbelts, used it for two years with no issues, like above, sinch it tight then move the seat forward to your driving position and you'll do fine. Some groups don't allow it claiming a danger of submarining, once I show them how I sit with the Harnesses there is no way a big guy like me will go anywhere under the dash.
