This is the perfect emoji to describe how I feel about those wheels and tires:

Tires were surprisingly quiet on the drive home. Wheel/tire combo is flush (but overall more inwards than out)

Some static shots :-) They're not 305/3015s but they're so much wider than what I was expecting :-)

So I've had the H&R adjustable sway bar sitting in my garage for several weeks. Installed it this afternoon when I got home from work.
Super easy install. Could not believe how light the OEM sway bar was. The new 36 mm sway bar is so much heavier.
Took it out for a little test drive and everything seems good. Next track day is four weeks away.

The ducting really helps a lot to keep the temperature down on the front rotors. Carbotech pads last a lot longer!

Couldn't agree more on the ducting. I think with my new 2-piece rotors, I'll finally have no more brake issues! Which means I can add power! And then bring back all brake issues as I go faster

I think you'll like the front sway. Just dial it in with some track time. Mine helped turn in a lot

Ditto! I just replaced mine as it had some holes in it. I think I may try and upgrade to 4" ducting, but I have to figure out a way to make the 4" opening. The Ford Racing one was something ludicrous like $1k.

It seems like I paid about $400 for my Ford racing front brake cooling duct kit. Although that was the one that fits the 11 and 12 model

Having a trailer and tow vehicle is such a luxury. I'm so lucky I have that setup. Can't imagine doing track days without it now!!
