If you are NA and doing a lightweight build the stress in the brakes is a lot less vs stock weight or especially someone adding weight and tons of power with FI. The WW 4R is solid for a DD, autox, and light tracking. Depending on how much, long, and often you go to the track they might not hold up, but brake ducts would help a lot for these on the track. |

This is from collective experience. No cats or silencers at the forward portion of the exhaust means drone and loud noises. Usually 'light' means not a lot of muffling involved. Pick your poison. Light and loud, quiet and heavier. You cannot get both unfortunately.

What’s next, “I need help deciding what battery to get, i want something that looks cool, I don’t care about weight or CCA or Amp hours. Just want something to make the red on my car really pop?” |

Rears are tough to drop weight because of parking brake. A few rotor options that lose a little weight in rear but sacrifice parking brake. For a more hard core track setup then a real front and rear BBK like WW or AP is great. For a more casual setup the LW WW 4R + some slotted DBA rear rotors and pads is a solid cheaper setup. |

They are completely different price points. WW 6R/4R combo is entry level BBK. With entry lvl price point $1550 front $1650 rear. AP is a step up but at a much steeper price. The WW 6/4R combo is still a great upgrade over oem or oem sized aftermarket rotors. |

It drives like it needs less to get the tail to rotate. I prefer leaving the spare in the trunk on the track as well. and by adding weight I mean the amp for my sound system. lol
