** Canceled the RPF1s, and will likely be getting the ARC-8s. Thanks for the feedback : ))

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-compared.html Regarding spring rates, as far as what I understand from my long (and awesome!!) discussion with Karcepts, the new cars push more with square spring setup compared to first gen cars. Spring rate is also much more important than a sway bar when there's heavy compression, like turn-in. My local tracks are all full of sharp turns. Anyway, looking forward to playing with it all once I receive the car and all these parts.. Quote:

Stock brakes. You only need pads and fluid. Experts on this forum agree.

Both are correct. If you want your car to do a few track days a year, dedicated track pads like xp24s and G4 335 fluid will be perfectly fine.
But if you’re doing one like once a month, it makes more sense to have better heat dissipation… so a bbk would be in your interest |

Do we know if this is an issue in second gen cars? The new car is stiffer (which might also mean stiffer firewall), and also BBK would probably be easier on the master cylinder since you probably don't need to slam it as hard as you would with the slider OEM brakes.
Anyway, just thinking out loud.. : )

Mike, do you think 299mm kit will be enough for the Hoosiers? You guys still haven't shipped, so I guess we could still upgrade if 325mm kit would be a better fit : )

You mentioned raybestos being out of stock:
I was able to get a set of ST-43 from LPI Racing, but basically he said he called porterfield and they managed to find the materials they needed to make the ST-43 rear on the shelf by chance. Apparently raybestos is moving a bunch of manufacturing stateside due to the shipping problems we have all come to know and love and their manufacturing has been down for a while |

Balance wise, the 299 is better; if you want a larger kit, I'd point you to something else. If you want AP, the 9660; if you want Brembo, the BM4. No ETA on the 9660 either, as Essex is very, very late on all of their updated Sprint kits due to supply chain issues. |
