Why no red StopTech's?
You still using the stock pads they come with?

how difficult is it to drive with that lip on? Look like it will scrap everywhere for a daily driver

My car is lowered about 0.75" from stock and the lip has not been too bad. But obviously you'd have to be patient on ramps, speed bumps, etc.

Richard, lookin absolutely sick! It is awesome that you are actually using these parts as they were designed, on the track! Did you complete the ducting to the front brakes? I'm sure you are giving Lou tons of other ideas now! Ha!

At this point the StopTechs (with street pads) are still very consistent when pushed hard, even when Tony drove it. In a few months when the car gets a cage I will get ducting done.

Lou is an excellent driver and he will even be faster soon with some extra performance.

You must not live inside the loop, my 135i scraped on soooooo many different ramps and drive entrances around Houston no matter how slow or angled I approached them.

Kinda miss Houston, MSR 40 minutes south, TWS 1.5 hours northwest. Now that they closed gateway there is nothing within 5 hours of St. Louis.
