I like the Stoptech 309's for better initial bite. Just be careful - last set I ordered were counterfeit from Amazon.

Funny enough on the BBK, I have the performance pack because Brembos are better, right? Well, basic rotors are larger and heavier, which is rotating mass. So unless you're going with lightweight, two...

Well it didn't fall out at this weekend's event. No idea why it does it, but it happens about every 2 years, or give or take 50 events. I do check it once a year at the beginning of the season and...

Had my steering wheel adjustment come undone during my final run (actually a rerun too). Yay. This happened two years ago too randomly. I check it yearly and make sure it's in place, but it works...

I can't say enough good things about RCE and their involvement here on the forums. Plus they make a good product and I really enjoy their SS-1's.

Keep in mind this is with those particular length springs too. Using a different spring length will wildly change those measurements.

If they're similar to the SS-1 and SS-2, they don't audibly "click". They do have some notch feeling when it's in the next setting, but I know one of mine in the rear is kinda vague.

I'm coming into this a bit late with all the responses. I think your camber is generally ok. I run -4F/-2.5R, so you're at least in the ballpark. I also run 6k springs all around vs your 7k, but...

To echo your comment, it's been generally quick for me. At least acceptable. No more timing out or blank pages - which is a huge improvement.

The thing I don't love about the Grimmspeed bar is it only attaches to those bolts/points the other two triangulation points attach to. It's similar to the Perrin bar.

This might be ok, but at the...

There isn't going to be one.

Just my opinion, but strut bars are going to be a thing that's super subjective, even if there's a way to calculate if they do anything.

Take swaybars for example....

That's not "gapping" a plug. Plugs are gapped by thousands of an inch. IE, small enough that you're sliding in spark plug gapping tools to measure it.

That looks like a straight up failed plug....
