Best part is that they use a strut housing that is really thin, thus it breaks easily. Too bad they didn't pick a company like Moton where there's an adapter that just screws in the bottom of the strut. When you get hit or hit someone, you replace a $150 part as opposed to a $2K strut. They could have done like Koni and made a steel strut housing. It is much more durable and if you do bend it somehow, a $250 part as opposed to a $2K complete unit.
In the end, running a 2.05 around Daytona costs much less than the 2.00 that TCR needs to be running. More go fast parts from a single supplier just to BoP them back down to the same speed. Hopefully the Michelins next year will make them run 1.57's and cost 20% more.
