Got a track related question? I'll try to answer.

Ahh I see I am boosted so Endurance for me.

If you can handle oversteer, I suggest you run non-staggered brake pads at minimum or maybe a more aggressive rear pad to maintain proper bias. We would need to use our temperature probe and paint strips to identify where your brake temperatures are at before recommending you further information.

Just to be clear are you talking about raiding brake callipers off an STI or are you talking about the Brembo GT/GT-R BBK kits?

Most people are referring to getting STI calipers.

Okay, I've found that the official Brembo BBKs have been excellent on anything I've driven. However, they're typically on the expensive side of ludicrously over priced.

OEM Brembos are different than their bbk. No where near as good. My ap sprint kit murders oem sti brembos.

I've always been amazed at the list prices for Brembo's aftermarket kits. They do look good, but if reducing speed now is what you need, the Essex-produced AP kits are the bees knees.

I've driven Brembos on the FRS and I like them...

If price weren't a concern, I'd rock some fat Brembos on my car...

They are priced exactly where they are supposed to be.

First wet track day at laguna seca this weekend. Rs3 have seen 1 track day and about 700 miles. What psi should I run in them? I have them at 35 hot on a normal warm day

From Mike's comments in another thread... Anyone have any tips for foot placement on the BRZ? I've been trying a few different things over the past couple of days, but not finding much that's very comfortable that still allows me to be even remotely smooth with heavy braking. Heel-toe for normal street driving is still cake.

It's not an issue in my GTI and I can crack 'em off smooth in that, the BRZ's gas pedal is a touch too high for me to use the same technique Trying to practice it on the street is just asking for trouble so I'll wait to try if the BRZ ever hits the track.

Any suggestions on technique with the BRZ's pedal layout?

Sorry to thread jack a bit!
