Looks like a great time! Glad to hear the mods paid off. Maybe more aero will give me better confidence going through the kink!

Glad you brought the car home in one piece and better yet, had fun doing it. Those are the two absolutely key things to any track weekend, it's just a bonus if you learn something.

The brakes look to still be in good shape too. Doubt I can get another weekend out of them, but thinking about going XP20 in the front and XP8s in the rear. Wonder if that's too much front bias?

You made it through a weekend at CMP and the brakes look to be in good shape? You're not trying hard enough!

Much of it is personal preference. I moved away from Carbotech brakes since I was seeing large chunks taken out of the friction material before the pad actually wore out. I have much better luck with Hawk DCT70/DTC60. I do really like the Cobalt XR1/XR3 combo as well, but that's more expensive. Plus the Hawk contingency I get from racing helps pay for consumables.

Yeah I was thinking about going Cobalts, but I got these carbotechs for next to nothing. For what I paid, I couldnt NOT use them. I did pull 1.4G braking on the first day, which I thought was pretty impressive. The 2nd day I was able to compress my braking zones a lot more, and with a lot of room for improvement too.
