Braking was also felt better yesterday.. maybe it's because I've added the diffuser and last time when I was at the track, I had the front splitter only.. According to the Hancha group, without the rear diffuser (splitter only) downforce distribution is 68% front and 32% rear (which explains the tail happy character of my car at the last event) and with the rear diffuser it is 51% front and 49% rear... I hope this helps

also KW kit uses a different bracket so if you snap your belt you can still drive back home (unlike the JR ) and you can also upgrade your charger now or later (unlike JR again).. take a look at Drift Office's comparo and impressions http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47101

I had a chance to attend the NASA PW event with "rice classic" today, it was very nice to meet with you (in person) man I really appreciate the very useful tips that you gave me and letting me use your pyrometer today (now I am even more confused, haha).. I noticed that I have been missing all the action since it seemed a lot more organized with a lot more experienced attendees
FYI, I was in combined HPDE Group (4/ TT) and he was in the Racing group .. this was my first day with NASA and overall I am glad you mentioned this event (and of course the re-pavement at PR ) it was horrible last year Overall car felt pretty good and I am sure the aeros helped me a lot at T1 to maintain the high speed stability.. except the brake pads.. hopefully when I replace them with the ST43s and maybe add the Toyo RRs (255s), I will gain more confidence (especially before turns 3a-3b) rice classic's red CRX My best lap time of the day was 1:41.6 and it was my first event at PR after a year so sub 1:40s are quite possible with the current setup and with a completely clear lap (no interruptions, point bys ..etc) [ame="http://youtu.be/f0uJqaFv9hs"]http://youtu.be/f0uJqaFv9hs[/ame]
