After 6 HPDE days at Sebring, I still haven’t figured out a good brake pad f/r combination. I’ve tried Hawk DTC60f/30r, DTC70f/60r and Gloc R12f/R10r looking to stay in the heat range with similar wear front to back. But I have also been changing tire compounds and springs during this time and...
@Madtel4 I’m that gentleman, the rivnuts allow you to use machine screws instead of the plastic rivets to hold the lower splitter on and thus make it easy to remove and install. Recently took a long road trip up to PA and NC and I was really glad I didn’t have the lower splitter on.
Here’s a...
CSM Performance LLC, but they don’t offer the lower cost 1000lb set anymore. Back at the end of 2019 they offered the set with lasers and target boards for thrust alignment for under $2k. This set is fine for my 911 and Cayman but a bit at the limit for the stang.
Pretty much if you take your time, level the pads. The great thing about hub stands is you can get to the weighted suspension adjustments and the hub stands have rollers on the bottom so your adjustments are not bound up.
I've had 6 track days so far, 2 in January on 265/285 PS4S because it was cold and the rest on the cup 2's, all at Sebring.
After the first 2 track days, decided a bit less roll and dive would be nice and fitted Steeda's dual rate springs, those worked out really great for both the track and...
The only time I used the paddles was on the cool down lap to lower the rpm. Transmission (and engine & diff) were in the mid range but it hasn’t really got hot yet here.
Steeda states 0.5” drop, here’s a pic of the lower splitter in HP configuration, ie, cup2 tires, after the spring install. I can convert my car to a non-HP configuration easily by removing the lower splitter and swapping wheels with PS4S tires for longer road trips, but I haven’t had any issues...
I did the first 2 track days without the Steeda dual rate springs and there was a bit to much movement in the car under braking and cornering.
Installed the dual rate springs and have done another two track days. Transitions are quicker and trail braking is more stable. Sebring is pretty bumpy...

The 10R80 works great, there isn’t a single point in the lap where it’s in the wrong gear. My other track car is a 16 Cayman GTS with PDK, the A10 is close.
It is a HP and I installed Steeda’s dual rate springs, 2 piece rotors and DTC70f/60r pads. Cup2 tires are great on the track.
