I'm kind of curious how the weight reduction from that AP brake kit affects traction on lumpy surfaces. So far the best car I've driven on our roads out here has been a Lotus Elise with lightweight two-piece rotors and some kind of ridiculous ~10lb wheels... that car just feels like it floats over road imperfections and grips like mad the whole time. When I run my car over the same roads the car gets much more upset. There was a noticeable improvement over stock when I changed wheels (-5lbs/corner), so I assume the brake kit would improve things even more?

There's plenty of twisty and bumpy roads in North Georgia around the mountains which can easily unsettle a car without caution.
I haven't done much spirited driving in the car yet since installing the coilovers and BBK. It does feel firm but a little more supple when adjusted to comfort settings due to the dampers being more responsive and faster. The weight reduction and better ride from both kinda compounds together and the car feels nimble as ever. I'll have much more appreciable feedback to give after my next track day in a few weeks.
I'm glad you're getting valuable feedback from my build so far. I've really enjoyed keeping this journal and engaging with the community here.
