1st time on the track with this particular car. Hope to see you guys there.

From the sounds of it.. BBK is not an option but a necessity

duuuuude....skip the HPS rears. I don't think they are better than stock.

Am I better off with the Ferodo 2500s all around?

I don't mind swapping pads track side but BBKs won't be until next year so I need my parts to last a while for DD duties lol

Yes, definitely.

HP+ and Ferodo 2500s will get the job done with the stock tires. I'd be happier with something a little more dedicated but you should be fine.

I'm interested in the AP pads that essex has but don't have any experience with them first hand.

The Ferodos would be great on the street while the HP+ will be noisy.

You have PM!

+1 on the noisy HP+. It's the one thing I hate about them but figured most/all performance pads were that way.

I'm going to try the AP Street pads myself, probably be in the spring though.

Sorry to OP for threadjack on brakes...

It's about an inch, this is the Cusco rear bar.

This guy, always asking for my top secrets. I will take a picture of it tomorrow, would you also like me to wear pink underwear while I take the pic?

Very nice, looks like you have it set at a good height too.

Yes, only lowered about an inch. Anything more and geometry gets screwed up.

Legit! Great choice on the JRZs; they're amazing coilovers with superior build quality.
