Took it to the track. Texas World Speedway with Chin Motorsports. This was my third time at this particular track, and I got solo qualified.



I tried driving with TC off for the first time at this track. It went well, until it didn't. FF to 2:10 if it doesn't do it automatically.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3XJhBrw4A&t=2m10s"]TWS 4/9/16 spin at turn 4 - YouTube[/ame]



But after that, things went well. Again, until they didn't. FF to 1:15.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLKVysz6b4Y&t=1m15s"]TWS 4/10/16 off at turn 7 - YouTube[/ame]






No more STi lip It cleaned up okay, though.



I was using brand new Cobalt Friction XR2 pads. They were amazing. Sadly, the OEM red calipers on the series.blue couldn't keep up:




But the pads left my rotors shiny and blue!




Tires held up okay, but got greasy after overheating. MPSS.

running n1 with berk test pipe..so in love with the deep sound. Was afraid it was gonna be too loud like the berk dual muffler delete. But I have to say this setup sounds great while cruising around town. And just gets louder at wot. Drone is def much better than going straight pipes lol

I love these tires! So much grip!

Yup. They're almost as quiet as my Michelin Defenders on my Corolla. They ride comfortable (more than the HPs). The turn in is nice and sharp and it takes a lot to make traction control kick in now.

I can't comment on MPG yet, but I'll find out at the end of the week. The sidewall looks taller and wider than the HPs.

I'd get the DWS if you're trying to save money.
