Yeah we did +45 also. Very happy with it. Depending on how many miles on your current pads, what fluid you have, and top speed at your track, the stock could be just fine with that RBF600 I think you had. We ran on our stock pads and fluid too for our first four track days. But our top speed on that track is only about 90 before braking into a 2nd gear left. I did however manage to threshold brake the end of that straight for the last two sessions with only a little fade on the last 3 laps or so of each session.

Yeah, I hope those APs come in for you soon. Sounds like your stockers are done.

So this has been 100% confirmed by several of us at various tracks across the southwest. The automatic is faster around a track. Some of the guys are even getting better laptimes by leaving the car in Drive with Sport mode turned on in the transmission, instead of shifting with the paddles themselves. They just let the car make all the shifting decisions. So it seems the ranking from fastest to slowest (not necessarily most-to-least fun ) around a track is: Auto in Drive with Sport mode on Auto with driver using paddles Manual I may or may not be the OP. I can neither confirm nor deny if I've had "access problems".

Just realized I haven't posted in here forever because reasons...
Recently added a Tomei catless front pipe to the Berk dual tip muffler delete. Got some street-dedicated 19" rims so now I can dedicate the Enkeis to the track and get them some suitable track-only rubber. Need oil and tranny coolers before going back to the track. fluid temps are way waaay too high here in the heat. Need to replace those Winmax W3 pads and the RBF660. I glazed the pads and boiled the fluid last time out. I either suck or I'm faster than I thought. either way, better fluid and pads are needed now.

Forgot to add that we've been on E85 100% of the time for like 18,000 miles now. I'll probably never run another tank of premium gas again unless we go on a road trip that doesn't include E85 stations.
