Definitely will - just got to figure out the logistics of that pesky 3600 mile round trip. I'm planning on winning the lottery so I can hire a driver to take the car around while I fly everywhere. Feels like a solid plan, now just waiting for it all to happen. |

You mentioned the weather at home bringing you back early. Assume that was due to Harvey - hopefully you and you’re family (and your buddy & his) all came through it ok. |

Hey guys, new to the forum and the chassis. I'm an instructor for NASA NE. Haven't had the car on track yet, WGI in October will be my first time out this year with it.
DTC60's with SRF should suffice for a brake set up? Stock rotors, street tires, stock suspension. Do any of you run a less aggressive pad in the rear, or is the consensus to keep the compound the same across axles? Anyone know a good source for some titanium shims for the front? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks |

The 60s are a good pad, very consistent friction. I know a lot of people here like the PFC08 but the Hawks are quite inexpensive which really makes them appealing. I have been running the 60s and 70s on my Corvette for two years now. Hard to beat them for the price. I would run 60/60 to start. If you find that the fronts are getting too hot and consumption is high, the 70 has a slightly higher MOT. GiroDisc sells shims, last I checked.

Yeah I've been using 60's for the last 5yrs. Like them a lot, never tried the 70's. The 60's had plenty of bite especially since I always use street tires.
I tracked an Evo 8 for the last 9yrs. I ran 60's up front and HP+ in the rear. Evo's are very front biased so it was never an issue. Didn't know if I could get away with something similar in this thing... Thanks for the feedback guys. Montaver, I see you're in NY, who do you run with? |

Is anyone using front strut tower reinforcements? Should I have them welded on? My concerns are mitigating stress as I get deeper and deeper into tracking with upgraded components. Any other structural weld improvements? I don't foresee going to a true coilover rear.

Studs start to become an issue in the race build levels with aero cars and slicks. See the later pages of dogbone's thread. He is looking at upgrading. The future classic kit is looking great though.

When I talked to Dave Zeckhausen about 70s vs 60s, he had me start with 60s and said to move up to the 70s if I'm seeing high consumption or symptoms of pad overheating. He was concerned the 70s could reduce modulation and cause me to get into the ABS too quickly on a street tire.
I later tried out the 70s and didn't have that issue, but I do have a LOT of tire.

God, I love those polished Brembo calipers.
Also, cool to see they use the same anti-rattle design that my OEM Brembo rotors have. :-)
