We are in the final push to the car ready for WCLM unveiling. Carlos and Rene are bolting on more items.
Suspension compliance is a key goal with the 111RS. We want a car that you can blast through bumpy back roads. CA canyons are rough in many places. We spec'd Racetech SCCAs with soft springs (250#/350#). These shocks also run the same lengths as a stock damper so the ride height won't be too low.
We've coupled the Racetechs with DNA swaybars, Front & Rear. These have become a real game changer allowing for soft springs which deliver the compliance we want.

The owner of this 111RS intends to drive the car on track occasionally so we chose to add the DNA Front swaybar to give him more tunability. We've developed a Track setting that is stiffer when you couple the DNA Rear swaybar with their Front. We're adding the DNA Adjustable End Links to allow for corner balancing - which we will do to her once we get through a couple hundred break-in miles. Modern springs generally don't sag. We use Eibach springs and they have been very reliable. But leaving the corner balance until the end will ensure that it stays balanced for thousands of miles.

The muffler tip exits above the diffuser allowing the diffuser to work without interruption. The naked rear will also help shed heat that can build up in the rear of the car due to mid-engine packaging that is very tight.
By painting the rear subframe black, the cool bits will be on display. It's a small way to make the naked rear look somewhat more civil. 8^)
