@Flyhalf any recommendations for solid (not slotted or drilled) rotors? I canāt seem to find any two piece ones that donāt have slots or drills. At this point, Iām thinking of sticking with the OEM PP rotors; given that solid > slotted > drilled (for durability), itās hard for me to justify...
Will these clear 18x11 front wheels? I'm planning on buying the APEX SM-10 18x11 EC52 with a 25mm spacer. Was worried about if the control arms or the tie rods would contact the wheel at any time.
Thanks!
Have you had any problems inserting the shims into the calipers? I've seen a few TMO forum members note that they were unable to do so on their S197s
Looking to get these with R10/R8 brake pads, but worried about using them initially without the shims :/
Sadly, the shop was only able to dial in 1.9 degrees of front camber, so I ended up with 1.9f/1.4r camber. Should be good enough as a daily driver with occasional track day use for now. Perhaps I'll come back for another alignment to dial in some more rear camber later if the rear tire wear...
Yup! Been busy with work, so I haven't gotten too much time to drive the car after the alignment.
Note that I installed this along with shocks, springs, sways, and the CB005, so it's hard to tell which component is responsible for each of the perceived effects.
Initial Impressions: I have no...
Great advice from both, thanks! I think I should start here and see how it goes. Iāll definitely be gentile on the PS4S till they harden a little after a few heat cycles.
The goal eventually is to make this my dedicated track car once Iām able to buy a daily driver. The finishing plan for the...
Hi All!
I have a 2017 GTPP and have recently installed FRPP Track Struts with BMR SP083s and the BMR front sway bar (keeping stock PP rear sway bar), along with the MM CC Plates.
I've also installed the Steeda Roll Center Correction kit as well, and have a spacer in the back to raise the rear...
I definitely hear you out on this, however the reason why I am installing this is to
- A: Prioritize NVH reduction
- B: Reduce the rubber bushing binding
- C: Replace the rubber bushing with something that won't degrade as quickly over time
Point C is a huge reason why I was hesitant to go with...
Shop canceled on me, but I Managed to get it on with the help of a friend aligning the bushing. We ended up tearing a camber arm bushing (100% our fault, not a problem with the bushing), so I had to purchase another one. RLCA went in straight though :)
Should be finished by Friday, and ready...
I'm giving up and scheduled for a shop to push the bushing in š I'll report back once they're installed and aligned.
Currently, no shop near me has an adapter big enough to handle the SuperPro bushing for the tension link š. I've decided to install the Steeda tension link with spherical bearing...
Welp, funny enough, the *easiest* part of the RLCA was removing the bushing. It was a real PITA to remove the entire control arm from the car, having to drop the exhaust and remove all the shocks and springs.
I used the Astro Pneumatic Goliath C Frame with an impact wrench to press the bushing...
Anyone here have experience with running the Corsa Sport Catback @ Laguna Seca?
I'm terrified of getting black-flagged for being too loud.
I've seen some exhaust insert cones such as these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-629020
I'm not sure if it's snake oil or if there's actual DB...
Yeah that's a good point, it's probably a better idea to set it neutral, an uncentered wheel would probably bother the hell out of me š
In any case, the reduced track width may come in handy if it'll let me run 305s later on without too much poke š¤
I have a ball-joint vise I plan on using, with all the fun adapters it came with. I'll probably see what adapters I can use to push them in at the metal sleeves so it doesn't put all the force on the poly that sticks out over the edges of the sleeves. Steeda tool would be nice to use though...
Pulled the trigger :)
@SAY WHAT @TeeLew Any tips on the install? Not sure how exactly I'd want to press the bushing in. Seems like it would be a bad idea to press it on the polyurethane part itself, perhaps I'd want to find something that would press on the outer metal sleeves?
