Braking system starting to come together as well






Brake rotors on the way and then brake lines before the next season starts.

Finally got the first round of parts on, coilovers,brake pads and rotors intalled





after putting just a few miles on these coilovers i can say they are worth every penny. The ride is actually much more supple than oem and they seem to handle bumps alot better with the out of box settings. Can wait to get on track in few months and turn up the dials to see what they can do




how the car sits right now. Not sure what i will do in terms of ride height if i will lower it anymore. I will test fit my old set of RPF1 17*8.5 et 30 and see how they sit.if they will fit with the tires 245s on there. Something tells me they wont fit too well but we will see.

As for the winmax pads i have no verdict yet as i havent even had the chance to bed them into the stoptech slotted rotors

that sounds awesome, i love button willow. Ive driven that in the mazda as well. But laguna seca takes the cherry for amazing sights on track. the undulation is extreme and creates a different challenge. I like speed sf alot better extremespeed because its not as crowded though last time i run with speed sf they merged bigger with intermediate which created so much pain for everybody. Had to end up making the move to a high group just to find some space to run. Have you driven streets or big willow?

never been to big willow. Kinda don't like dead tracks (desserts). Have u been to thunderhill? Higher elevation changes than laguna. But yes laguna has the best scenery for sure. Speed sf is good. Try ongrid. They have half the ppl than speed sf. Nice guys too

oh man forget the dead track thing, big willow is worth all the hype. turn 8 will blow your mind. one of the few corners i have ever driven where you dont lift but rather just keep your foot in it. amazing thing to feel that. I will definately try thunder hill when i get back to cali. maybe next winter. Sucks that my track here is so flat. No elevation changes at all though that makes it a great place to learn and much more forgiving. Elevation makes a car alot more nervous.

trust me you will like big willow. its super fast and requires alot of trust and belief in both the car and yourself.
