I'm assuming you're going to strongly suggest a BBK since I have RE-71Rs and a proper alignment now (no more grating understeer that prevents me from getting on the power early)  I did add the GT3 brake air guide things, but I doubt they're going to be anywhere near effective enough.
I was debating XP12s with Ti shims to protect the calipers because I don't really want to spend the money on a BBK this year, but I'm worried that'll be nowhere near good enough. I still have the stock wheels/tires I can use for track days and might do that anyway. I have ~20 hours of track time planned this year (split up between Shenandoah, Putnam Park & VIR) and a bunch of autocross.
The AP kit would set me back ~$2600 or so all said and done, or an RR kit for about half that (one piece rotors) but I don't know anybody REALLY fast that's using them besides Element Tuning.
Guess I'm just asking for confirmation that I should man up and get a BBK like you said here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=3167 |
Try the XP12 first. 4 hours on XP10 for half the pad is actually not bad in terms of wear.
Shipping should be free if you order front/rear XP12 off of the CSG website.
Just take the outer dust boots out, and don't use the shims.
