Mike's 2022 BRZ

[GraysonGreene]

Sub'd, thank you for posting and updating us! Excited to see more.

Does the red and green paint on the rotors turn a different color at different temps to give you a max temp during a session?

[CSG Mike]

CSG FLA V2 prototype installed, corner balanced, and aligned.

Car now rides even smoother for most road elements, with the HBS manifesting only over (very) large dips, where it's definitely guaranteeing preventing any sort of bottoming out. Drove around on a loop identical to what I do when doing local testing for OEMs.

Will need to test balance at the track, as there's no way to do it safely on the street, but... I'm excited.

Exactly that.

430C for green to turn white
610C for pink (red) to turn white.

The CP is designed as a street pad when it comes to friction, but has the capacity to handle race temps. It pairs well with lower grip tires, but stickier tires designed for track/race use should be paired with a pad designed for that grip level, such as a C1/C2/C21, etc.

The rotors turned the green paint white while driving on stock tires. No blatent use of ABS.

Asking for a friend

I suspect it does. I might grab mine off my 17 to try fitting on the 22.

My very imperfect/imprecise measurement with a tape measure says yes.

From CSG.

I use a mix of AP, Alcon, and Omega, based on whatever is available.

You guys better send Mike a bunch of Uber Eats or Door Dash gift cards

Probably both, actually.

Any thoughts on the aluminum knuckle? Toyota made some stink that they were sticking with the heavier iron knuckle due to steering feel but wondering if that’s just marketing nonsense.

Also is it confirmed that first gen coilovers are a direct fit on this second gen? BBKs?

Almost any coilover should be a direct fit.

BBK still TBD.

Aluminum vs Steel wheels, engine blocks, and now, knuckles. Probably little to no real real world difference. If the Aluminum knuckle was flexing like that, it's fatigue life would be very, very short.

You gave me an idea. Let's see where it goes.

@CSG Mike any particular reason you chose the BRZ over the GR86?
