Nice that deletes the fog lights right?

Yeah. I bought another lower grill to try and fab something up for there, but figured I'd give this a go first.

Fixed. .

More heat reduction - heat wrap on the exhaust around the rear diff.

Which wrap did you buy? Length and width?

50', cut it in half and used all of it.

DEI 010127 2" Titanium Exhaust/ Header Wrap - 50' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R4U72I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hbLcybJNZ88B8

Also bought the stainless ties

I like the titanium appearance better than the black that I used. I see you also used more overlap, which is necessary, IMO. I also chose 15' and did not wrap as far.

Think I will go 25' next time. I don't need it to go as far forward as yours. Thanks for the answer.

Finally I can dial in my camber at home. Firestone will be happy.

I had Carbotech XP10 front /XP8 rear and the fronts are toasted after ~5 months. These are R12/R10 - I don't expect these to last longer, but I do expect some more bite and less/no fade at the track.

I'll be @ the Firm Saturday to see how they do.

I run XP10 front and XP8 rear on my M3, they perform fantastic but as you discovered they do not last too long and the dust from the X10 is horrific.

I am going to change mine along with SRF after this round most looking forward to your thoughts.
See you Sat!

I honestly didn't find the dust any worse then the Brembo pads. That could also be in part to the Brembo dust being more brown and the the Carbotech being black/grey and blending in with my wheels better. ;)

SRF is a definite. I wish I had skipped over the hassle and expense of the Motul and gone straight to that.
