Some parts in...
Finally got some parts delivered today
Slotted rotors from StopTech, braided steel brake line kit, Pagid pads, Torque RT700 brake fluid. This simple brake job hopefully will dial out the pedal fade I experienced on first track day. Starting install today planning on heading up to the FIRM on Saturday to test them out! http://www.gorally.com/open-track-days/ Still waiting on KW DDC coil-overs and wheels... |

Finished up the brake job yesterday. I am quite certain that I need my own personal road course in my back yard now as finding a safe place to bed the pads and discs is ridiculously hard. Track day this Saturday will be to perform these procedures before pushing too hard.

Did the new brakes made a big difference on track?

Yes indeed. The squeal scared me at first I thought I did something wrong. But once I got there and talked to others this is just something "race" pads do.
The initial bite is immense. Once they got warm the squeal went away. There was absolutely no fade. I was running 45 minutes at a time and longer. Was at an open track format. Car was rock solid lap after lap. Video: https://www.youtube.com/user/ketemaj/videos Photos: https://www.facebook.com/ketemaharris |

Found out today that I can't get the Enkei RS05RRs. They are special order only and you have to buy 40 at a time. Ridiculous. So anyway I have to find a different wheel. Thinking about VMR 803, D-Force LTW5, BBS CH-R. Also getting a camber kit from ground control.

While I'm prepping to get my coil overs installed I took some time to install these pedal covers.

Quality is good. Can hardly tell difference on the road honestly. I took it to the FIRM again and that where I can feel the difference. being lower in the car and when it squats on hard cornering it is very noticeable and much more stable. Also the camber is incredible for not rolling over the PSS tires like I was before.

update
I have some updates: Install pics of the KWs (after being thrashed at the FIRM) couple videos as well. They are long but I am not much of an editor, just had fun lapping the track. I also found a distributor that can get me those wheels from Enkei and I placed my order. Going to take a couple months but I think they are worth it.
This video has nice turbo sounds. This vid has nice #throughglass first person view.
